    "Baquashock" which is a swimming pool cleaner and is full of hydrogen peroxide works great. Costs about $55 - $60 from Farmlands or Wrightsons and comes in 5 ltr containers.

    I use that to bleach skulls by painting it on with a paint brush and then letting dry.

    Once completed I also put a thin coat of Danish Oil on antlers / horns and it comes up absolutely mint and seals in the colours!

    Wishing I could go out and get a full size burner! Finishing off old gas cans before throwing on the bottle of Coleman spirits.

    It was shot in an area not known for Sika. She had never hunted Sika or seen one. I received a text and photo asking "what have I just shot ?"my reply was, a Sika stag and thats about as big as they get.By the time the messages were exchanged she had cut off the head. Later when we realised it was a real trophy I sugested she could get another head skin and mount it.She said no, it wouldnt be my deer so thats why it is what it is.

    @john m she was very lucky it looks to be a monster, I thought it may have been a Hybrid with those massive tray tines but looks very Jappie in the pic !

    Was it a Waikato animal ?

    Can't seem to get a good rolling boil. Burner not hot enough, pot too big. Then my petrol water blaster isn't starting. Wife in my ear about giving to a professional. Going to steal one of her roasting trays.

    I have but I think the pot shape isn't helping and I need an industrial burner.
