58 AFRICAN ANIMALS SKULL RE-CLEANING 

Hey brother! Put that mop and glow in a spray bottle and spray it on the skull and horn. Then just back brush it. You can mist the larger surfaces, and stream spray the tiny areas that the brush won't fit very well. I found it's way faster than just brushing all of the sealer on. I didn't seem to waste any more mop and glow than normal. Also the mop and glow seems to be storing ok in the spray bottle. Thanks for the follow up to Africa videos! Amazing pile of critter skulls!

Love these videos...my uncle does European mounts for our deer...love seeing the step by step process...keep the vids coming

I've done some re cleaning in the past once I was at an antique store owner gave me old European mounts and spent a month cleaning them

Thank you so much for taking the time and actually responding to all of the comments which not a lot of you tubers actually do.

Tbh I prefer the natural look of the skull. I found a fox skull a few months ago and it was perfectly cleaned by all the bugs. So I boiled some water to kill off the rest inside it, gave it a good scrub and glued in the teeth and dried it off. It looks more realistic that way.

Stunning. Very fascinating to watch. Your videos are so soothing if people fail to see the dedication and talent you have, idk man.

YESSS FINALLY MORE SKULL CLEANING

WOW!! As one of those 'oddballs' who collects skulls for fun, I must say that this video was so cool to watch. Very jealous of those awesome specimens (especially those antelope and the monkey)!! Great video as always. Hope your 4th of July was nice.

FANTASTIC! LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HOW TO! Hats off to you friend!

Your channel is awesome!! Thanks for the knowledge

Checks feed, sees ryan uploaded, makes my work day more exciting

I appreciate your sharing your time. Thanks from SC.

Very good demonstration on how to clean and love all the tips and excellent info. Thanks for making it so easy to follow. Mike in sunny Florida

Lol at the beginning i thought someone had died because of the sad music and the way he talked😂

Ryan your amazing at this good job you've inspired me collect skulls your awsome.

Am not a hunter. But man ...what an incredible job you do. Amazing.

Thank you from New Zealand this is going to help me in future years.

Another great video. Articulate and detailed, as usual. I've learned a ton from watching what you've posted. You've probably already tried it, but I use a spray bottle to apply either mop and glow or a 50/50 mix of Mod Podge if i'm looking for a matte or glossy finish. You may lose a little more product with the spray, but it helps coat those hard to reach places with a brush. Either way, thanks for continuing to post!

Gorgeous! Wonderful job as always!

Man you had your work cut out for you! As usual though, you attacked it with confidence and no fuss. LOVE IT! Keep doing what your doing bro, its amazing work.

Some of the taxidermists here in SA drill holes into the horns of the animals where it can't be removed from the core, and inject them with peroxide to clean the inside.

I live in south Africa🇿🇦

The new Bob Ross. I need everyone to post this fact everywhere.

Awesome video! I'm a fan of the smaller skulls too. Keep up the good work brother.

Been a little while. We missed you. The video was awesome. Wish we could have a video of each one but I'll settle for anything. Great as always. Happy 4th.

Woow me encantan tus videos. Son muy buenos!

way to fix those up you willbe surprised how many local jobs I've fixed very nice

Awesome job as always

Thank you for responding!

The red color should be dry blood what wont come off, we had a moose skull like that. Only thing what helps with that is DONT SKIN THE HEAD BEFORE YOU ARE GOING TO BOIL IT.

hay white its beau agen love your videos

Hi there! what a good video thank you, I was waiting for this one lol! I've managed to find a solution for the horns that cant come off, yes to drill holes is the best bet, then to fill the holes with formalin and leave the skull upside down with the liquid in for about 2weeks - this is what takes the time!! Then give it a good clean after, and leave it to dry about 2months. I tried cleaning the skull and leave the horns to mother nature....but in SA we get beetles or worms that just about eats up the whole horn!! never mind just cleaning it - I was left with just the bone inside the horn on the skull! This was a great video thank you! I look forward to your horn cleaning video. Keep em coming! Greetings from SA. Yolandi

Could you setup a pot to do a dunk of the Mop and Glo? At least for the smaller skulls and then do a touch up after you pull them from the pot. Great info and it's amazing how many things you guys came away with from that hunt great job!

Try a spray bottle for your mop and glow it works pretty good

Hi. as far as I know, we in South Africa would never touch horns or tusks. So I think where the holes comes from is dep. of fish and wildlife, or even on out side, have drilled it to make sure no drugs was hidden in it.

awesome and I am a fan from TURKEY

Love ur videos do more videos even if it's already a skull u did

Old man show me how to take the horn off the core a long time ago . Seamed easy once I learnd how .

love watching ur viedos keep the coming

Great video as usual ! Missed your vids !

Oh and congrats for your kids graduating school

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE

Wow kids are just now getting out of school, my summers almost over, I only got about 2 more weeks left until school again lol

Awesome.

You can see that gemsbuck (oryx) was a cow (female) the bull’s (male) horn are thicker and shorter and the cows horns are thinner and much longer

Can't w8 4 that horns video 2 come out.

Nice

Hay brother!!!!! Was starting to get worried haha. Great job and wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is amazing almost a gallon a mop and glow Ha ha great to see you put another video out you're the man!!!!!! Thank you for doing what you do and keeping it real. By the way have you gotten any of my emails about Wyoming I don't know how to email at all so I don't know if Im doing it right.well keep up the great work bass are biting have a safe 4th brother!!!!!!!!!👊

So are you using silicone sealent to fill tusks now instead of epoxy? It would be crazy cheaper. Thanks again for great videos.

Have you ever thought of or tried to use concrete sealer for the coat after their done? I don’t know what chemical reaction it would have with the bone, but just thinking it would seal up and harden the bone. 🧐

Gorgeous skulls! I am forever impressed by the size and shape of the horns on some of these creatures. :D Quick question for you, if you don't mind. :) For the skulls that are brittle, especially in the nasal bone/sinus cavity area, is there a way to reinforce the area to minimize the chance of breakage?

YAAAAAAAAS

Ok so what safari did you go on that allowed you and four other people to harvest 52 animals!!!! Thats a ton!!! Would love to look into them and see what the prices are....congrats on your harvests

have a leopard that is very orange ,tried the boil and peroxide ,no luck any ideas? also if you mix oil base paint in your epoxie works great

just out of curiosity. Is it personal preference to brudh on the mop and glo? And if not would a spray bottle possibly work better or make things easier? Fantastic video and super informative! Keep cleaning those critters and ill kee watching!

A dab of vinegar should take those rust spots out. EDIT: Or some CLR and a Q tip. :)

Awsome video as always. I have a couple of javalina skulls I've been working on for about six months now. Soaking them in buckets of Oxy Clean and water. Last weekend I boiled them in peroxide again but there still not decreased. Orange reddish color on them still. Just keep soaking them?

Would it not be simpler to have enough mop and glo to fill a drum so you can dunk them?

Do you think soaking a rag in the peroxide/water mix and draping the rag over the skull would work to whiten it?

Could you make a video on SKINNING AND SKULL CLEANING A MARTEN

Is there a huge difference between the cream developer and the liquid developer? Better to do the liquid than cream? Thanks Kyle

Have you ever thought of doing a complete skeleton?

Was curious as to how much it cost to ship that crate to you? Will have one of those coming stateside within the next 5-6 months. Thnx in advance!

So you can re whiten skulls if the bone is hardy enough and it’ll come out white again?

Who was the outfitter you went to if the skulls turned out like that? That just looks so bad they were treated in a careless way, if would want to do em myself lol

Did you figure out why they drilled holes or did I miss that

Maybe you've mentioned it before, but long do you leave the skulls in the boil? Also the more brittle or messed up skulls, do they differ time wise as well? For example the one skull that came back a little wet with the red discolouration, did that have to stay in the bath for a shorter amount of time?

Wow, I cannot believe they abuse the trophies like this in Africa, that's so disrespectful. I would think ten times before going hunting there after knowing what they'll do to the horns and skull. :o Great work putting it all together and making it look as good as possible.

Didn't think there's anything left in Africa.

Hey Bro - you mentioned using locktite for pig tusk (on a prior video) - is that just regular super glue? Thanks

am I the first?? First!! also how do I give u the heads of the animal that I want u to skin and clean?

Do they not let you keep the hide?? What if you wanna do a full taxidermy mount?

have you done any snapping turtle clean ups or turtles in general?? just curious

Always wondered how/how well they took care of the skulls over there. Had a question about teeth of all things. Do you do anything to remove the brown (plaque?) in the fissures of the teeth or just leave as is? Never have seen anyone address this before. Thanks, and as always, love the vids!

About how long did it take you to get the skulls back from Africa? Just wondering.

Do you mop and glow all antlers and horns

happy 4th, but my question is when your doing a muley or whitetail do you put mop and glow on the antlers and skull?

How would you go about getting the horns of a Texas long horn ?

Out of curiosity, what did it cost to get that crate shipped?

where do u get the mop n glow from n is it the same as u use on floors

dude btw i have that dame hat. sweet

Can you make a video of your trophy room

U belive in that mop an glow . Must work but I've never used it .

a horned massacre lol good stuff

about German Shepherd shull

Why is drilling holes in horns a "no-no" in USA?

can you do a snapping turtle common or a alligator snapper?

I don't understand why they drill the horns O.O

🦈🦈🦈

Wow

Where was your Fishing trip

Is okay to ask you for advice on a euro oryx

Where to begin.......First off if your using 35% industrial peroxide the last thing you want to do is mix it with regular water, distilled water is the safe and best way. Second thing is i don't see you doing anything about the natural grease in the bone (what bone is left) if you don't remove it in time they will yellow. I have been doing this for a living for several years now and we use Beetles to clean the skulls and every bone no matter how fine or small never breaks. Looks like a quick short cut to make a buck and run. I would like to see one of your skulls that is like 5 years old and see how white it still is. One more thing, peroxide is not flammable but is will accelerate a fire like gas so if that pot ever overflows and hits that flame...........run baby run! Be careful people never boil peroxide read up on it if you don't believe me it can be dangerous stuff if not handled properly.

Have you ever tried a fish skull

Where do you get your peroxide? I'm having a hard time finding any.

can you clean a snake Bone

Do a SHARK 🦈

PUMBA

Please make video on human skull

Does anyone know how to get into the animal cleaning business
