Thread: Boiling stags heads, why do some come out yellow and some white?

Here's a couple of examples
Redstag from the roar came out nice and white:

Any suggestions?

some really good recipes for boiling out heads on you tube most use peroxide to bleach white ( used on blondes at hair dressers easy to get ) some recipes add lime to last stage of boiling out
