Someone offered to clean a skull of a hog I shot with my bow with the beetles. It was a very large hog. It had 5-6" cutters. Well, the beetles froze to death so the guy used bleach water.
After 6 years, the skull is literally splitting apart. The cutters are splintered. I'm going to have to throw it away and it really disappoints me. I think I'll take pictures of it next to the smaller hog that another friend used the Clear Volume 40 on the year prior to the big hog. It is an amazing difference.

So, is there directions on bottle? Use full strength, soak it? Never used it, following along.

Get the 40 v. developer in cream form. The cream can be painted on the skull and left to process. Liquid is a pita to work with.

Pour some cream in the bowl and start painting it on the skull. Cover every surface.
Some people wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out too fast. When it dries it stops processessing. I found the pastic wrap to be messy and more trouble than it's worth.
I just leave the painted skull in the sun for a few hours. When it's dry, wash the residue off and apply another coat of hair bleach. Dry, rinse off, repeat.
Two coats usually gets the skull white enough to suit me but I've used 3-4 applications for whitening old yellow skulls.
