+1 I use her's indoors and it makes her so mad! Even use the pot and the brushy thing! Ha ha it drives her bonkers!!!
or use the powder that you mix yourself from the hairdressers. Nice and thick and you paint it on! don't be worried if the powder is blue, it comes up nice and white!

Peroxide is best, you can buy it in bulk on that well known auction site, bleaching powder you can buy from the likes of Bushwear OK if you are only doing a couple of heads but works out expensive if you have more than that to do, same with the cream from the hairdressers , as I said you can buy it on the bay in bulk and in various strengths , while the stronger ones are not necessary they do get the job done quicker and you use less in the long run.
Be careful if using the really strong ones they can be quite nasty, there is a limit to the strength the general public can buy now,I think it's 30% anything stronger is for industry only and there are regulations on storage etc.

I use the same as Bogtrotter, it is 12% either in the cream which I prefer, or the liquid. it always gets good results, with that % you can always go over the parts that may not have cleaned up again. If you use the liquid then cover the head in cotton wool and soak the HP into it, you will get much better results that way. A friend got my HP from a hardressers supplies. Be careful with the more powerful HP if you get hold of it, left on too long and it will start to corrode the bone and you end up with a powdered surface that keeps corroding made up from the skull disintegrating.
Make sure the skull is soaked, the HP will then give a smoother and deeper finish.
Like everything else spend time on the prep and you will always get a better result

Yes, this was covered in an old British Deer Society booklet No17 dated November 1978, all the advice still relevant today.
A dishwasher tab will also work just fine.

Get the peroxide cream from the hairdressing supplier its so much more easy to use than liquid and goes a lot further.

I use 35% liquid solution, for best results i apply it directly after cleaning while the skull is still damp. I brush it on with a small foam dab then cover with a thin layer of toilet tissue for an hour and a half and its done. It will be quite white after this treatment however will whiten further as it dries especially if left in the sun.

+1 and you can paint it on with a brush as it's a paste 3-4hrs then wash off. Check out the Jelen vid on youtube. The stuff I've used is 12%.
Cheers
Pete.

I use powder for the washing machine normally it gets them white enough without bothering with the HP, I boil the skinned head for 20-30 minutes power wash off the meat etc then boil in clean water with the washing powder for 5 minutes works pretty well and cleans your pan at the same time!
