I had a couple of large stag trophies boiled off by a friend as something urgent came up I had to attend to. Whilst they did a reasonable job, and I've been working on finishing them off and getting them bleached, they seem to have come out with a bit of a yellowish tint to them - particularly around the eyes and top of the skull.
Every skull I've ever boiled has come out white, and after a bleaching session with 35% commercial grade hydrogen peroxide (ref. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BIOSTAIN-ON-E-BAY/Hydrogen-Peroxide-Therapy-/_i.html?_fsub=937780011 - in case you're struggling to source) they have looked nice and crisp white, even the older stags skulls...
Not sure what's happened here, overboiled, underboiled, left with tissue residue on, etc. etc.???
more importantly, I'm trying to bleach them nice and white, but even the 35% H'gen Peroxide is struggling to do the job..
any input from people who've had similar experiences?
