Warm water maceration & bleaching/whitening

[30338]

This is this am after sitting in dawn and borax water for 20 hours. Water needs swapping out again this am. Keep doing this till the water stays clear. If this step gets rushed your skull will yellow with grease over time. You can resoak it at that point if it does, just better to get it done right the first time.

Sorry if this is thread hijacking but didn’t want to start a new one. I accidentally boiled my skull after doing a water change on the third day. I was using a propane burner turned on every once in awhile to try to keep the water at 90-100° up until this point. Did I kill all the bacteria by boiling it ?

Bleach will break down the bone structure and continue to do so for years. While the term "bleaching" is used, just use peroxide and never bleach.

I like all the small bones and leave them on.
