I'm in the process of bleaching my ELk skull and have a few questions. Although I did not boil the skull, I soaked it in water for 2 days and I was able to scrap off around 98% of the flesh. My plan is to mix up some baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form a paste, coat the skull and wrap it in plastic for a day or two. My question is with the very small amount of flesh remaining, will the peroxide clean it off, or must the skull be completely clean before I try and whiten it? I would like to avoid boiling it if I can. Thanks for your time and all your tips are appreciated.
