    In the future, don't boil them too hard out. Simmer them until the flesh/membrane on the face starts peeling, them water blast. In my experience you are better to try and water blast earlier rather than later, as it avoids the bone becoming brittle or going chalky.
    yes just like that, waterblast early then put back for short bursts back in the pot between blasting. did you put some whitening washing machine stuff in the mix? helps to remove all the oils
