quite a few collections every year. FIRST OFF....boil the skull in clean water OR immerse skull in clean water for two days, after draining, place in a plastic container with the 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. Do not allow metal parts, tags, wires, bullets, etc., be immersed in the H202 solution....it will neutralize it and therefore be rendered useless. After solution whitens the skull, drain, then immerse in the hottest tap water available, when the water cools, then reimmerse again in the hot water, do this three times....this will remove any and all fat content in the bones...and therefore make the bone white. Works every time........Buzzi
