I use 20 or 30 volume peroxide mixed with whiting flakes. I mix the two into a paste and paint on to the skull. Be careful not to get it on the antlers. Wash off the paste after it dries. You may have to repeat this a few times to get the desired results. Good luck.

I forgot to mention before I whiten the skull I clean it to make sure all flesh and oils are off the skull. I soak the skull in water and Dawn with bleach.
