At least that's the formula they taught in the course I took years ago.


It's very important to not over simmer (and especially boil) when using washing soda. You can easily damage the bone if you over heat with ws. If you have trouble regulating your heat or its your first time simmering a euro - I would recommend just using soap and water.
That’s interesting. I’ve had good luck so far with washing soda and 1hr simmer time. One thing I did notice was when I get a head that’s been skinned in sept or oct and had a chance to dry out and rippen a bit, bone comes out more gray then say a fresh skinned one. Peroxide usually doesn’t do much for it in that case. Any insight on that?

Also did 2 rotten ones this year (year old) and they were bad! But hide was still on and they came out fine and whitened right up with peroxide.
