rageinthesage Report post Posted October 31, 2016 Get a flathead screwdriver and pop out those eardrums, that will help alot. After you do that let it sit out over night, that stuff will harden up a bit then you can pick alot of it off with a stiff knife. Pressure warsh it, and hit with a good wire brush too.

BOWUNTR Report post Posted October 31, 2016 That's why beetles are so much better. They eat everything. If you take your time and are patient... you can clean up the remaining flesh with the tip of a knife. There's less than five minutes work there.

NMBPMAN Report post Posted October 31, 2016 A lot of times I take a hack saw and cut that at an inward angle. It gets rid of some of the small crevasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted October 31, 2016 Get yourself a box of borax from Wal-Mart and rub it on that flesh until it falls off. You will see what I mean when you try. Also small nylon brush STIFF black nylon. DONT USE METAL IT WILL TURN BONE GRAY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ASUOutdoorsman Report post Posted October 31, 2016 What I usually do to bleach is use a mixture of 25-30% peroxide and 70% water. I noticed that if I leave a little bit of that on the skull, when I bleach it, it just dissolves or falls off of it. I still try to take most off before hand. Needle-nose pliers work well for those pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted October 31, 2016 +1 on the borax. I usually put it in the water I'm boiling the skull in and it really helps dissolve/soften tissue. Then a brush or pressure washer removes it from those hard to reach places pretty easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AgraffAZ Report post Posted November 8, 2016 Get something like a screw drive and pop out the eardrums. After that everything will come out real easy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
