What ways do you guys clean your skulls. I have always heard of just letting them sit for a couple weeks with borax on them. Whats your favorite way.

If you are talking about just the skull plate cleaning beforeounting, then i just use borax and let it set till time to mount, but if you are talking about the complete skull for a european skull mount, I use the maceration method of just letting it sit in a bucket of water and let the bacteria eat all the meat and junk off, then whiten with peroxide and borax mixture.

i have two dermisted colonys one of around 100 bettles and a new colony of about 25-30, i hand clean most of the meat off, then sun dry for a day or two. i put the skull in the tank and in about one week the skull is done.
