Taxi Question

You think a week or so?

It could take a week ... or a month; every skull is different.
Keep it in there until the water doesn't get dirty anymore.
After that, let it air dry. If there are any spots that the bone still looks "wet", after it's dry, it needs to soak longer as those are grease spots and will turn various shades of yellow, over time.

Cleaning skulls is not a fast process, if done properly.

I went to check it and the water isn't discolored after 24 hours but the skull is loose on the middle seem on the forehead. Will it tighten back up when the skull dries? I've really never soaked one in water like this. Thanks in advance

Peroxide will kill the smell and whiten and any bacteria....it can be the cheap stuff from the dollar store. No worries

[NAVY CHIEF]

Go to dollar store buy the super glue gel. Hit all the cracks and his teeth to jaw....

Gallon ziploc bag and tie it up so most of peroxide covers the jaw.

Yes, it will tighten back up to some degree, but not completely.
It got loose because all the meat, membrane, and muscle, that held it together, is gone.
