I used to do the same exact thing but have switched to cooking the volume 40 in.
Get it pretty clean, doesn’t have to be perfect, the simmer in volume 40 liquid and water. Use a whole big bottle of volume 40.
10 minutes and it’s pure white and the peroxide eats any left over tissue away. Way faster and easier. Make sure and wrap the bases up good and any touch up can be done with Wood stain.

Here’s a video on it.

Cool! Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try on the next skill I clean.

Boil in Dawn, clean off cartilage, paint brush on the high %Peroxide, the type used for bleaching hair. Let it set and rinse off. Reapply if necessary

They never come out white enough for me so after the decreasing parts mentioned above I just spray paint them white.

Finished.
Not to bad , kinda broke a little of the noses off a little.

This was the first time I used the pressure washer. A lot faster for sure

I've done 30+ deer and have had pretty good results using this method.

1. Pick the skull clean and scramble the brain
2. Put tape over the bases on antlers to keep them from getting bleached.
3. Simmer head in a solution of water and dawn dish soap until meat on skull starts to turn brown. Make sure to keep antlers above the water line!
4. Pressure wash the skull. Blast out brain cavity.
5. Pick tissue off of the head. Pull membrane lining the skull cavity.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5
7. By now the skull should be pretty clean.
8. Once you feel like the skull is clean, coat skull in hair bleach solution. You can use napkins soaked in the liquid peroxide, but I've been using the Salon Care 40 volume creme from Sally's. (God I can't believe I just posted that) it works well.

9. Wrap the skull in saranwrap and let set for 5-7 days.
10. If after 7 days this skull is not as white as you like, repeat step 9.

This is exactly what I do, except for he saran wrap. Works great!

Just out of curiosity do you think that was from the pressure washer or just from removing the cavity?

Simmer in water and dawn soap and pressure wash clean.
Simmer in volume 40 liquid developer and water for 10 minutes, rinse and seal with mop and glow.
