How to Bleach a Deer Skull (CHEAP & EASY) 

Just tried this and it worked great! Left the skull to sit for 3 days after applying the bleach/bleach powder mixture. It whitened up the skull significantly! After a little bit of cleaning the skull looks fantastic! I would recommend this technique to anyone who’s wanting a nice white Euro mount!

When bleaching hair with this same mixture, you are in fact supposed to wrap the hair in foil or plastic wrap. Yes, it otherwise would dry and clump, but the bleaching process also stops working as it dries. The chemical reaction between the peroxide and ammonia releases heat, and by trapping the heat, it keeps the bleaching process going. I already have this stuff at home, so it’s cool that I can use it on skulls too!

I’m rewatching this video to refresh my memory from 2020. My son and I both got nice bucks then and I used your process on both of them and it turned out very nice. I got a nice buck this week and I’m going to do it again. Thanks for the demonstration.

This method works really well -- the bleach powder is expensive so I got a 1 oz. pack for ~$4.50. Thought I would save what was left in the jar to use later, but it expanded and bubbled out of the pack. The skull is really whiting up and less mess than boiling. Highly recommend. By the way, going to get the bulk bleach at ~$15 or so.

Great video thank you for posting it! A little bit of help from the peanut gallery, when you were talking about how thick you want it after adding the powder. I would describe it in a term that’s used in baking, and or dessert making by pastry chefs, when you lifted that butter knife out with the way that it covered the entire knife and came down in a sheet that is called curtaining . If it stays stuck to the knife and then drips off the end that’s called roping, and as usually thinner probably what you started out with would rope instead of curtain if that makes any sense to you. I worked in some fancy restaurants when I was young and had to learn all those terms and ways of talking paid off when I got in the body work lol.

Awesome video! Very detailed, thank you👍

hey! thanks for this, i’d been looking for a way to lighten an old, mossy bear skull that’s pretty weather damaged. i used 20 volume developer and it worked perfectly. thanks again!

Good job. I was looking for a way to bleach the skull without having to boil it again after the Oxy Clean. I like the Mop n Glow idea too.

Dude! This is great, thanks for posting this! I'm gonna do this with a pig skull that I have. Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice! I would like to see how your hanger is made also.

Just ordered those two bleachers! Thanks will try it lot cheaper than that powder cabelas sells

Thank you. A mount with antlers attached(I don’t hunt) this helped!!

Great video Man!

Excellent video dude

Great job!

What mounting bracket do you recommend?

Good job 👍

Nice job! Thanks

Can you do a video on the mount you made ?

I’d like to know how you make the hangers

So it looks like you pull everything out of the nasal cavity after boiling. Does it come out pretty easy? I actually think it looks better when finished that way. Also, do you remove the ear buds?

Well done

I'M in the process of whitening my deer skull, I did not have the white powder on hand for 1st whitening part. Can I buy thew basic whie powder and use it for the 2nd part (and maybe 3rd??) Thanks forthe excellent video

Is there any visible damage when using cream peroxide?

Hi the last step what kind of coat you put in on, I did not catch you. Thanks

Very educational! Does temperature matter while waiting for the cream to do its job? Say 40 degrees vs 60 degrees? I would guess maybe in colder temps it would just take longer??

Could I use the basic white with 3% proxcide??

What’s the mop and glow is it the floor polish mop and glow

What did you say the final product was for the gloss look? Thanks!

My wife would kill me if I did that on a nice table. Good job not spilling. You're much less clumsy than me

Please show me the mounting hangar.

I do mine the exact same process

I saw one guy doing it without any whitener, just painted the whole thing white, said it kept everything together

Please post a video or contact information for purchase of your skull wall mounting bracket. I tried to email you, but it bounced back?

exactly how i do mine.

Will 30% work ?

Great video! Moping glue, is that PVA glue?

Is it ok if its bubbly when you paint it on there

Great video, I used your method. But why not use an oil based flat primer spray can? It’ll be white and won’t let the oils through. I guess what I’m saying why don’t people use spray paint?

How do you make your hangers?

Any idea why mine got darker? Used the exact products and did the same thing and mine are almost black?? Only difference is I had to use Salon Care 50 instead of 40 because that’s all they had??

So can I do this with just the 40% cream development or do I need the powder to?

8 dollars on Amazon lmao that bottle is 25$

Jesus saves
