Boiling Moose Skull for Euro Mount

[AKHUNTER]

Find a local beauty supply store and by whitening powder and 40 volume peroxide (liquid). You mix the two in a plastic container until it's like cool whip and paint it on the skull with a paintbrush. It will dry and then brush it off with a stiff brush. I usually repeat this "whitening" step to get it nice and white but that may not be necessary. After cleaning all the dried whitening powder off the skull, paint the skull with Elmer's glue diluted with warm water to seal the skull or paint/spray the skull with satin polyurethane to help seal it and give it a nice finish.

If you want to avoid antler discoloration, have a better finished product and do WAY less work, macerate instead of boil. I’m not sure why anyone goes to the trouble of boiling. Especially something as large as a moose

I think it worked pretty well. Looks like there is a little work to be done but not much.
