Thread: Euro Mount Tips

At the risk of telling you to suck eggs, get everything off the head that you can.

Then remove the Auditory(sp?) bulbs with pliers/screw driver and drill out with a wafer style bit before the first "boil", usually will be messy, use a cheap drill.

Some people do it after the brew but I personally find you get a much cleaner end product if done before. Then BEFORE you brew get in with a metal coat hanger and scramble brain pan, amazing how much you can get out just by doing this.

I almost feel that it almost "hardens" the menigial membrane against the interior skull if just thrown in a boil. Also the less heat the better, to a point. You want to remove matter/oils etc but too much heat and natural seams start breaking down and splitting. Low rolling boil and and water blasted .

Just my personal observation and technique though. I prefer the Euro mount myself so have done a fair few now, have not had issue with the above. FYI check WHITEBONE CREATIONS on YouTube he has a bunch of good stuff for skull work.
