Interesting. Nice Boar

If you simmer that skull in clean water with two cups of dawn and some Oxi Clean for two rounds of 4-6 hours most of that grease will come out and leave the skull looking much nicer.

Thanks for the Oxi Clean trick. I simmered for 9 hours in a pot of water than over night in 25% bleach. Will do the oxi clean thing to get it the rest of the way.

Make sure not to boil it.  Pigs are very greasy.  It will take several "treatments"  Looks great.

I have friends that swear by Sally's developer.
