Dead head cleaning

[joslinbd]

Like many others have said, boil in water with a tablespoon of dawn dish soap. Then scrape away. Continually change water as the fats from the hide with float to the top. Some people like to use a pressure washer to blow everything out. I never like doing that as I didn't want to break away any small bones.

Lots of good advice above but, for another handy reference, I've learned a lot about euro mounts and restoring deadheads from Whitebone Creations videos on YouTube.

Soak in dish soap and water for awhile, cut hide off, and then boil in oxy clean, meat falls right off.
