Originally posted by Bill in San Jose View PostI found that if I sprayed with Binz or Kilz to seal it, then painted they looked great. I posted one on the DIY thread here a couple years ago, it came out nice in black with gold leaf cutters.

I've done dozens of euros. I've never "degreased" anything.
If you've simmered it clean, I soak it in a bleach water solution for about 30mins, let it dry and then mix the peroxide paste and quick white in to the consistency of cake icing and cake it on the skull. I let it sit overnight with a heater on it. Next morning. It's done.

I've had good luck soaking pig skulls in acetone to dissolve the grease, typically only takes a couple of weeks completely submerged in acetone. Take them out and let them dry, if they still have dark areas soak them some more. I've never had to degrease like this with deer. I put on high concentration hydrogen peroxide to whiten them after degreasing.
