Things i use for my European mounts are
1.Tinfoil
2.big pan
3.knife
4.stove or burner
Skin the head of the animal as good as you can and get it cleaned off as good as you can then. Take the tinfoil cut if off in strips fold it up long ways, fold it around the base of the antlers starting down at the base. Work your way up half way and make sure its rolled around the antlers tight. Then place the skull in the boiling water and boil for 20-30munutes depending how much stuff you have to boil off the skull. When done pull the skull out shake off the hot water and carve off what is left behind and wash good with soap and water....
I have done several different European mounts. I never add bleach. i just skin the head the best i can get as much stuff off as you can, then when you get that done i get hot water put it in a pan so that the skull can fit into just up to the top of the eye sockets. (i dont put the whole head in) MAKE SURE YOU COVER THE ANTLERS WITH TINFOIL (or it will bleach the antlers) I then boil the water for about 25minutes or so (depending on how much meat and stuff you left on the skull) then i take it out and the meat and such would be cooked mostly then i get a knife and carve it off. If you can not get it all repeat the process... )Dont boil to long where the skull will turn black and the bones will break off) After i get that done i get soap and a S.O.S pad and scrub the reddish color off and then dry it up really good... let it sit a few hours and then you will see the white European mount!!!! Here is one ive done this was just after i washed it up...
