Hair hydrogen peroxide, a powder and a cream you mix together. Get it at a hair supply store.

red has it right if you want gleaming brilliant white. to me that looks fake though.....almost like its plastic rather than bone i prefer just clean white without the sheen. i have a 25 liter canning pot for skulls. it fits 2 at a time. i put the heads in....then 3- 1 liter bottles of the regular drug store peroxide (3% i think) then fill with water. put it on the stove and simmer about an hour. the heat activates the process and its done right chicken louie....and much cheaper. with complete submersion, it gets in the sinus cavities and brain pocket and stuff more evenly than paste, making sure there are no spots missed. if you want an example, shoot me a pm with your email and ill send you a pic.

If you don't have a deep pot that you can soak it in with peroxide, and don't want to buy lots of peroxide:
Put the skull in a 4 inch deep plastic container that will fit the skull, stuff cottonballs in the eye sockets, up the sinuses and drape paper towel on the top of the skull. If you tear the paper towel and wrap it right, you can place the paper towel under the the antler and do the skull without bleaching the antler base. I use a couple pieces of paper towel on the skull kind of wrapping it like a cast. Then I pour the peroxide on the skull soaking the paper towel and cotton balls, and fill the container with about an inch of peroxide. I find the paper towel soaks up the peroxide continually like a sponge. I usually leave the skull for a couple of days and put saran wrap over as much of the container as I can. Not sure if the saran wrap is needed but I haven't lost a lot of peroxide using it. It whitens the skull but still leaves it looking natural, not glowing white.
