what kind of bleach do you use?

just your everyday household bleach will do the job but make sure the the bleach doesnt make contact with the antlers

get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the chemist will come up whiter than bleach only costs about a £1.just paint it on with a old clean paint brush or put soaked tissue paper on skull for 24 hours put out in sun to dry lol

If youdo it right in the first place you dont need bleach.

 

Skin it, cut it, boil it then power wash it.

 

Ive done HUNDREDS and never used bleach yet.

and if you hit the antler with power washer you'll take the browning of them and fook them

 

bleach for me all the way
