How to clean a deer skull oxi clean boil (DIY)

[@stevetuls2170]

My wife happened to have Oxi Clean for laundry. I threw some in and WOW what a difference. I can’t believe how clean and white it made the bone too. Great video and the best method I have seen. Fantastic results! Thanks again!

[@pineylife]

Thank you my friend. That oxi clean really helps with the grease and oil.

[@kipstubbs2446]

Can you do this inside or is it toxic to breath in the oxiclean fumes?

[@pineylife]

@@kipstubbs2446 I don’t think the oxi clean has an odor. Now the skull itself has a pretty foul odor.

[@darkhillseuropeanmountsLLC]

I've been in business for almost 7 years and European Mounts are all I do. I can get a deer done in about 45 minutes. That's skinning boiling and whitening. Please don't spray paint your skulls use 40 volume developer from the beauty supply it's a 50/50 mix and all you do is bring it to a boil shut the heat off and it will be brilliant white Everytime. Also take the auditory bollas out to get the hidden meat behind there out and it's a lot easier to get the brain out that way as well. The initial boil should only take about 30 mins or the bone will become brittle. Love the video though I just thought I'd leave some constructive criticism for ya

[@pineylife]

Thank you for the info and opinion. The whole point of these videos is to help someone out. I have tried the salon peroxide several times and me personally the mat or flat finish paint looks pretty good to me. I have several that are natural bone two that are salon peroxide and about 10 that are painted. You can’t hardly tell the difference in the painted and peroxide. I have never pulled the ear pieces out but I will try that to see how it works. Anything to get that brain out is a plus. Lol. I will try your method the next skull I do. If it works out good I will do a video on it also and of course give you props for it. Your more than welcome to leave detailed instructions here on how you do it and people can try it. Thanks again for the pointers and criticism. Thanks for watching.

[@Darelict86]

You put the 40 volume developer in your boiling pot? The developer is a 50/50 mix? Or your pot for boiling is 50% water and 50% developer mix?

[@oceanwhitehead907]

How do you whiten with the 40 volume ? Can you give some detailed instructions please !

[@darkhillseuropeanmountsLLC]

@@oceanwhitehead907 I do a 50% developer and 50% water mix. Put the skull in your pot with the developer mix bring it to a boil then shut the heat off and pull the skull out. Spray the skull of with water to get the chemical off and let it dry

[@xxxxxVAxxxxx]

so you only boil it for 30 mins to cook and get the meat off the bone? or 30 mins with the developer?

[@scwiggie]

I loved doing this. I was trained as a teen by a great taxidermist bro. Flick back in Texas. One of my favorite jobs

[@pineylife]

I don't mind doing it. I have done a bunch over the years. Its a cost savings for sure when you do it yourself. Thanks for watching and shout out to Flick Back for taking the time to teach you how to do these.

[@birdsongty1]

Looks like easiest and most simplest instructions I have heard. Thanks

[@pineylife]

Thank you. It is pretty simple main thing is don’t use too much oxi clean due to maybe softening the bone. Thanks for watching watching.

[@evelynanderson6016]

Yeah, but usually boiling with hot water causes shrinkage and warping. I do maceration and it turned out much better thank boiling for me.

[@denisedavidson7521]

That’s my husbands secret too

[@stevetuls2170]

Also, just a helpful tip… I had a buck that was very nice, but I just couldn’t afford another full mount, let alone space for the mount. SO, if you know off the bat that you are doing a Euro, call your local taxidermist and offer for them to keep the cape for someone else. The cape doesn’t go to waste and someone gets their deer mounted when a coyote or something else has destroyed their cape before they could get to it. It saves you the work of taking the cape off as well. Mine even gave me $20 for it.

[@pineylife]

That is a very good point. We have had several of our deer caped by a taxidermist that needed capes. He paid us the same amount. Very great tip and useful comment. Thank you

[@dbirdez]

I've done 2 of my elk heads but just sprayed clear after the bleaching, I'm wondering if you're painting as you did in the video if you painted the teeth with rubber cement . It generally peels off of things but maybe the paint would react with it ---- sounds like an experiment coming up😂

[@pineylife]

That is a great idea. I might try that. Thank you for sharing and that might be the ticket for protecting the teeth

[@ferdthe4]

No this was put up a while ago but after boiling to get the last of the fat and meat off I pressure wash mine lightly. I’m gonna try the oxy clean in the water for a deer I just got this year.

[@pineylife]

Thanks for the tip and I will try one like that. I actually have 6 under a barrel from last year I could try pressure washing. On the oxy clean I like using it for the grease instead of dawn or dishwashing liquid. Thank you fir the info

[@austinspencer2592]

Question for the boiling process, how long do you boil the head exactly once you start to boil it? Do you boil it for an hour then change the water out and do it all over again ? And how hot does the water have to be exactly? I’ve never done one before

[@pineylife]

Once its to boiling point I add the oxi clean and it usually takes about 2 hours. I have found that taking it out after a 2 hour boil you can scrap off the left over pieces of meat and tissue then wash it with a water hose and sprayer. If you still have some meat that's hard and wont scrape off then use fresh water and bring it boil and add you skull for about another hour. Now on the temp. I usually put my on high and then when it gets to a boil back it off to about 3/4. so halfway between medium and high for the last hr

[@kylethrower6232]

Might i add that different methods works , alot of it is what region of the country the deer is from. Northern deer have bigger thicker skulls than Southern deer, thus you can boil a northern skull harder than a Southern deer, age of the skull determines that also. Ive been doing skulls for 5yrs now and i boil 30 minutes, pressure wash, then boil slowly 15-20 minutes. I do use OxyClean or Dawn's. The toughest thing for me is the holes above the teeth that run the lenght of the last tooth, the meat in that canals gives me problems.. best advise is do whats best for you..

[@pineylife]

You are correct. Everybody does it differant and that’s a great comparison about northern deer verses southern deer. I have done one with a pressure washer but I will be doing that on one of the next deer I do. Thanks you for commenting and watching. Also thanks for sharing.

[@Motorpig251]

Do you not pop the earbuds out? I don't like painting them, I'd rather have the more natural look. Same for the rack, I hate seeing someone having to touch one up.

How long do u boil it for looks good

[@pineylife]

I set my burner on medium to high. I set the pot on with the oxi clean and then set the skull in. Bring it to a good boil. Then cut it back to medium to low and let it simmer for about 2 hours. Leave the pot boiling take the skull out and shake it real good to get the brain and loose meat off. Take a strong water hose and wash it good. If there’s still meat on it, top your water back off in your pot and boil it fit another hour. I hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out and thanks for watching.

I used the 40 volume and it came out ok. The teeth are still stained and it didn't come out as white as I thought it did. Can I use the primer to make it more whiter? Or just use white paint ?

I like the primer or flat white paint for touch up.

[@robertsullivan9501]

is there any thing left on the skull that would attract dermestid beetle, i have had this issue with my process, i cut the skull plate off and pickel it in a solution of vinegar/salt and water, i leave some fur on if desired

[@pineylife]

Usually there very clean, except for a little meat around the very back of the skull where the water might have gotten low due to boiling. I usually use a scraper or knife to remove the dried meat then let it sit outside for a few days. Then on to the wall it goes. If your try it let us know how it turns out thanks for watching!

Thanks for your input

[@dannyb6968]

A buddy of mine boiled one for me, when he finished there were little tubes running thru the scull to the brain cavity that I had to pick out with a wire. So please let me know if this OXY clean gets all them tubes clean also, or is there still some pick'in to do, or power washing? Thanks for this helpful video.. I also wanted to ask if you ever Put a line of super glue down the top of the noes to hold it together???

[@pineylife]

The oxi clean helps but I would not guarantee it will get the tubes all the way clean. But it sure does help more than using dawn dishwashing liquid. There might still be some picking involved. The biggest problem I have is when the water is getting low in a boil there is some meat that’s left on the back of the skull that has to be cut off or scraped but everything else usually comes pretty clean. I don’t pressure wash any skulls after they have been boiled due to maybe being weak from the boil. I have pressure washed them right off before boiling. Does a good job but not as good as the boil. On the nose I have used glue several times. The heat opens it up from the boil. Best thing I have found is to use a wood clamp from Amazon or harbor freight and slightly push it back together. Then glue it and let it sit over night. Let me know if this helps. Also I can get you a link for a clamp like I use if you need it.

These are actually pseudo-euro mounts. Real euro mounts have the base of the skull cut at an angle so as to facilitate mounting on a carved wooden plaque. Best to use dishwasher pellet in boiling water to help loosen flesh and degrease the bone. Use real peroxide to whiten. Then don’t put anything on it after bleaching. UV light will yellow coatings.

Normally it boils about a hour and a half but you will need to add water as it boils off. This will slow the boil down at times

[@kaylieschoggins2360]

When boiling your deer skulls have you ever lost any of the teeth? I did one that I let sit too long and just boiled the head hide still on and all and when i pulled it out it had two top teeth missing same tooth on both sides. I'm not sure if they fell out while boiling or were missing to start out with. And if i do find them what is the best way to replace them?

[@pineylife]

Yes i have done that several times. All i do is use super glue and glue them back in. They usually are pretty easy to get back in place. make sure you have the right tooth for the right hole then slide it back in place to make sure it fits and there's no obstruction. Then pull it back out and put a couple drops of super glue and replace the tooth with skull upside down. Let it dry and you should be good to go. Let me know how it goes and thank you for watching.

[@jayshedd2140]

That has happened to me plenty of times.. I haven't actually lost them but I have had them fall out. I did a European mount on a bull moose a friend of mine shot in Vermont. A lot of the teeth were loose when I was done boiling it so I carefully glued them all back in with super glue.

[@bubba3103]

You need to skin the head out and remove as much meat from it as possible, issue with teeth falling out over boiled it = shrinkage ;o) and change that water out 3-4 times use little bit of dawn dish soap for the grease. to much grease will leave stains on skull so important to change water a bunch ;o)

I found a nice skull and horns it's got some yellow and brown stains on it that I can't get out . I tried peroxide and it didn't work any suggestions .

[@pineylife]

If the skull has the stains I would bring it to a boil with the oxi clean and then simmer for a hour or so. Check on it periodically to make sure the skulls not getting soft. That oxi clean will get inside the brain cavity and help remove the oil or grease stain from the rotting process. option two is you cant go wrong with the sun bleaching it. If the antlers are discolored or turning white you can always bring them back to life with a little bit of stain. If the antlers still have there color wrap them up with a shirt or some kinda of covering that the sun can’t get through but leave the skull exposed. Place it up high where no animals can get it and let the sun do the bleaching.. hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else and let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching watching

[@pineylife]

[@TheGreatGig73]

@@pineylife I take the brains and eyes out. Leave all the meat on. Boil for minimum 2 hours. The meat all pulls right off. By leaving all the meat on it tightens to itself and easily separates from the skull. By taking the eyes and brains out it will boil from inside also. Bleaching I use 35% hydrogen peroxide. Let soak fo 1/2 hour. Comes out super white. Need to get that directly from a chemical distributor. This works for me but everyone has their own system that works for them. After 50 years I finally retired. I don't want to see another dead animal unless it is a road kill while I am driving non-stop past it, LOL. Oh yes, and also, as far as getting the scalp off the antlers use a long and thin flat head screwdriver to pry the skin off starting from the top off skull and work your way toward the front and around. When you get the hang of it it takes 5 seconds per antler. Try it. I hope it works for you.

Thank you so much for the info. I have 14 skulls to do. The screwdriver trick and eye removal is the next to try on my list.

Thank you and thanks for watchung

[@bassmaster8753]

Yeah don't spray paint it use 40 volume creme developer

[@pineylife]

Thank you for the tip and thanks for watching

[@seanjorgenson8064]

If you use white vinegar in your boil takes all the morgue smell away.

[@pineylife]

Thank you for the tip. I will try that this fall. Thanks for watching

[@robbobcat7286]

paint?

[@pineylife]

Primer. But like I said in the video it’s a option. You don’t have to use the the flat white primer.

[@wisdom942]

you need to do a better job on taping the teeth before spray painting

[@pineylife]

Thank you for the input and Thanks for watching

[@kevincameron567]

Peroxide works better, just my opinion

[@pineylife]

Thanks fir the tip and thanks fir watching

I wish I could have a skull like that😞

[@pineylife]

Hey brother do you deer hunt?

[@cajunhustle5128]

Painting the skill seems like a cheap shortcut that cheats the customer. I would never want a painted skull! You should use peroxide to whiten the bone. Do the work, do it the right way!

[@pineylife]

Thanks for you input. 98% of the skulls I do are my families. Only a few are for other people usually friends. I’m not charging much if any. The video is intended to show how I do it,not a professional way of doing it. Like I said thanks for input and opinion also thanks for watching.

[@stephen82kck]

I agree with Cajun Hustle. Thats not right what so ever! Family or not, spray painting a skull is a cop-out to doing the proper work.

[@timcbi]

This is how he does it..if you dont like it that's fine..good video sir..will the oxiclean bleach the anlers..I just use straight water doin mine..does the oxy dissolve the meat faster? Thanx

[@pineylife]

@@timcbi thank you sir, the only reason i use the oxi clean is to help with the grease. some people use dawn dishwashing liquid. the oxiclean has always helped me with grease and whitening. Thanks for watching and thank you for your support.

[@pineylife]

@@stephen82kck thanks for your input and thanks for watching.

[@rob701TurkeyGuy]

If ya gotta use paint you ain't doing it right.

[@pineylife]

You don’t have to use paint it looks just fine with out it. Me personally I like it and that’s why I stated this is the way I do it. Thanks for watching and your input.

[@hankbishops5226]

That's just a meat buck! Feel sorry if that's supposed to be a trophy deer 🤣😂🤣😂

[@pineylife]

The trophy is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for watching

[@MC-wr9vf]

How long did you boil it?

[@pineylife]

Usually 1 hour to 1.5 hours. But I check it periodically during that time and make sure the skulls not softening at the nose bridge and add a little water as it boils and evaporates
