I have a skunk that I want to use for a life size mount. I have it wet tanned. The white stripes on the skunk are yellow from staining. Is there anything I can do to make the yellow white again?

I have a skunk that I want to mount with the same problem. Matuska sells a fur bleach that you can brush on the hair that should whiten it up. I am going to buy some and try it. I would think that you would have to apply it carefully and not get any on the black hair or it might turn that white.
Washing the fur with Acetone works. I don't know that it is the best way, I found out by accident. It doesn't bleach the black like peroxide and it removes oil and stains from the white stripes in just a few minutes, then evaporated from the fur. I'm sure there is a better way, but that's how I do it.
