Re: Boiling A Skull........
I prefer the anearobic water method.
Basically just cover the skull with water, put the whole bucket in a black contractors bag out in direct sunlight for a week (preferably when its REALLY hot out), and let it "cook".
After a week, dump it out, scrape what you can off the skull, hose it all off and repeat it another week.
Uses anearobic bacteria to clean it up, no mess, no fuss, no flies, and keeps the "stink" to a minimum. And yields a great product.
