How do you keep from blowing out the small bones in the nasal cavity when using the pressure washer?

They will turn yellow if not degreased, the power washing does not do that.


Nice bull, congrats !!

What makes or breaks a good euro mount is the grease…. The more grease you pull out,, the better your results.
After I’ve gotten the flesh off mine… I’ll SLOWLY simmer the skull in water with dawn…
I’ll pour the water off,,, power wash,,, and then I’ll coat the entire skull as best I can with dawn and then put into a garbage bag,,,, I’ll get another batch of water simmering and put the skull in for a few hours,,, this really pulls out that deep grease.
Then pour off the water ( don’t pull the skull back up through the grease sitting on top of the water.
Then power wash the skull again…
Then go get ya some regular peroxide add a few big bottles to your simmering pot… put your skull in,,, ( cover up the antler burrs with electric tape… pour water in to cover the skull,,, and let the skull get hot and simmer in the peroxide water for about an hour and a half…
Take the skull out and then set it in direct sunlight…
About a week will get it brilliantly white.
Then clear coat it
