I had a someone tell me in another thread but I did not save it and now search is disabled so I cannot find it. Which peroxide do I need to buy?

I use straight bleach

someone on here told me to not use bleach because it turns them yellow and makes the bones weak, I know a lot of others use peroxide so I wanted to try it that way. hah my dad just boils em and thats all

Do NOT use bleach, it will ruin your skulls. I use 40 volume cream on all my skulls. You can buy it at any beauty supply store.

no bleach. I use 35% food grade peroxide. NOT 35 volume, 35%.

cool I got it! Also, is there a special glue that I should use to glue teeth/small bones back on with or will any super glue work?

I use regular Elmer's school glue. It dries clear and will stay clear. Superglue tends to turn yellow after awhile.

Elmers

saves me a trip to lowes then because I have that!

Zap is also a really good super glue. Can get from taxidermy supply.

40 volume creme at sally's beauty supply. white bottle with red lid. i also get the basic white powder and mix with it. it helps with the whitening and also thickens the peroxide up some so it sticks better to the skulls.

What he said

You can use elmers glue. It dries clear and holds well. On the peroxide, 40 volume cream and basic white from the beauty supply store or baquaci oxidizer from the pool supply store. The 40vol is somewhere around 12% peroxide and the BO is 27%. You can also get stronger stuff from a chemical supply company. I have a 5gal bucket of 50% I keep around as well.

just order 35% and do not waste your time on the BO.

a simple 30 minute boil in diluted peroxide from the super market does wonders, gets in all the nooks and crannies and comes out smelling spring fresh.

do you dip the skull in peroxide and let it sit, boil with peroxide or just pour it on?

I dont understand boiling with peroxide. As soon as the heat hits the peroxide it turns to water. Smh.

trust me it works great, after yer skull is clean and ready for whitening clean your pot add two big bottles peroxide and fill with water bring to a slow roll boil and add yer head, horns taped up, boil for 15 to 30 minutes, if you want you can take out and try yer peroxide paste as well while the skull is still hot. to me the peroxide boil is better, it cleans the skull inside and out

Heat is what kicks the peroxide. How do you think ladies get their hair colored? Under the heat bulb. I just think boiling with perixide is pointless cause the boiling water breaks down the O2 into just water. It lasts lots longer with out hot hot temperatures.

think what you want, it whitens it big time, so much so if your not carefull it will turn your antlers bone white at the bases.

I will stick to what I know works!

just saying, it can be done with cheap stuff, trips to the beauty shop arent neccesary .

I know this is an old post, and I hate to bring those back to the top. But I'm just LMAO at somebody telling Josh how to clean a skull!!!

Whats up DeeCee. No biggy, I think he just sticks to what works for him. I stick to what works for me. No biggy, as long as they both get the job done, thats the outcome we are after.

Hope your doing good buddy.
