bleaching

1) Remove the head from the carcuss. Remove all the skin and hide as
    possible.

2) Place the head into a large boiling pot of water. Place enough water in
    the pot to cover the head when inserted. NO NOT sumberse the antler
    bases into the water. Boil the head for 2-3 hours or until the remains
    fall off. Watch the head closely for the skull becomes soft and skull
    parts may detach it boiled too long.

   KEEP SKULLS ON AN EVEN REST WHEN SUBMERGED INTO
   THE POT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. USE A
   SMALL AMOUNT OF BAKING SODA TO KEEP GREASE FROM
   STICKING TO THE SKULL.

3) Remove the skull from the water after most of the remains have fallen
    off. Remove all bones and gristle from the inside the skull and nasal
    cavities.

4) There are several ways to bleach a skull:
     a) Bleach can be used but DO NOT get it on the antlers. Use 1 part
         bleach with 3 parts water. Dip the skull into the mixture and let
         stay in for a few minutes. Remove the skull and let dry. This
         process may need to be repeated several times.
     b) Another method is to used hydrogen peroxide. Soak a cheesecloth
         in the hydrogen peroxide and wrap around skull. Set the skull in
         direct sunlight for several hours.
