How on earth do you clean out the nasal cavity on the skull?!?! Ive got it it cooked so ive got all the other skin off of it! Id let it sit in the pot longer but the nose is spliting and something already broke on it any help would be amazing right now!thanks!
There is a center piece of cartilidge(sp?) That's runs the entire length of the nose. I use needle nose pliers and pull it out, generally everything comes with it. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2
Just pull it all out. After it is mounted you won't be about to see it anyway. Use a mixture of Borax and Dawn soap to really get it clean. Make sure to simmer not cook the head.
I used needle nose pliers as well. Cheated a little as well, at the time I did mine I had a car wash down the block. Tools $1.50 in quarters and sprayed the heck out of it. Washed all the matter from inside the cavities. Definitely faster than scraping and wiping.
The pliers idea works, otherwise just let it keep soaking and occasionally take it out and pick it/hose it down. I had to boil mine for quite a while (10-12 hours) and the nose pieces eventually just fell off and I just glued them back on! So...soak it and hose it down and if those pieces fall off, no big deal, just save them and glue them on later!
pack it with borax and let it sit overnight. come back in the morning and use needle nose pliers and it should come right out.
Alright! i got almost all of it out...but there is a big ol blob of brain rollin around in there! if tried pliers but there too freakin big.. where do you get borax at???
I use a screw driver to scramble the brain more or else. Will be tougher now that its cooked. Try to break it up is possible. Then tilt the skull back and grab with pliers. Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk 2
Bend a coat hanger w/ a lil hook at the end then break up the brain best you can shake, rinse, and repeat
