bone prep

[mater]

What not to do, is what I did. Dont cut it in two, soak in detergent water solution. Then put borax on it in a thick coat and let it set. Be cause when you tap it together a couple of days later to knock the excess off, it will break in many pieces.

If by "detergent water" you mean water with bleach thenthat is why it came apart. I learned to never use bleach on bone when I started doing skull mounts.
