How do they look after you tried to burst my bubble? Out of 10 please.
Where did I say I left them around?

Yes it is. #

Peroxide paste Is horrible It works okay on roe deer since the surface area Is small but on a red deer bone is incredibly porous and will wick away all the peroxide's water within an hour and render it useless and the reaction stops.
.
You need liquid peroxide ideally I can see on eBay you can buy 20 Litres for £40 assuming you keep your skulls incredibly clean, do all your prep in a dark room, and put a pin prick in the peroxide container (It breaks down into a gas) it can be used for well over a year and do hundreds of skulls.

I've used the hair dresser 40 volume Peroxide cream to great effect. Never had any issues with it

I use my Nans old one for my knives/drag cords/snoods/gloves, hangs over one of the headrests in the back of the D-Max.

Does peroxide cause the long term crumbling like bleach does? I’ve been using the peroxide cream which works well for me, but hoping that my mounts are going to last.

A large amount of cream works fine It has oils and sorts in it so it never really dries out assuming theres a good amount but the actual power mixed into peroxide to turn it into a paste does not work very well I've found.

Have you a picture of skulls you have done like this?

October 2020 - November 2021 this stag laid on the ground at one point completely being buried by soil and grass we had to stomp over the area to find them again!

You can get bones "fake" white by insuring you remove all the left over oils and grease by submerging them in heated dish soap water for several weeks to months, even boiled skulls have lots of trapped grease.
Here's that stag after peroxide, a roe buck after peroxide, and a reindeer that's been in peroxide, all of them are different as all have different levels of grease trapped inside the bone therefor there's only so much the peroxide (and or) bleach can do.

Personally I keep my bones mostly as I find them however too much trapped oils is a mould risk especially in the brain cavity, Its worth keeping in mind even if you boil your heads a even just leaving them in cold water with some dishsoap for a few weeks outside should help quite a bit when you go to whiten them.
