Bleaching the skulls

Submitted by Lisa on 7/20/06 at 1:48 AM. ( mobleysridgetop@yahoo.com ) 72.72.206.247

There's some shulls that i bleach with 40vol. bleach and whitener. I leave it on for 7 days some come out looking nice and there are some that are yellow looking. Why does that happen? What can i do to get rid of the yellow? Should i rebleach them?
Thank U
Lisa

and now I started putting some back in the degreaser and I hope that helps out the yellowing.

You say 40vol bleach? I assume you mean h202? If you are degreasing your skulls you shouldn't have to leave them in h202 but overnight if you are using 40vol.

The 40 vol. is the stuff that u mix with the whitener. It's not the bleach that u wash your cloths with.

IF you boil your skulls try boiling them in Oxy Clean. It works awesome. The Oxy Clean breaks down the meat just like sal soda, but bleaches it at the same time. It takes me about 2 to 3 hours to complete a skull.

You should put them in the sun for a few days after bleaching them. It really whitens them up.
