Preserving fish teeth and skulls - #6

Finally it's time to whiten the bones.

Gathered up all the bones and back into a glass bottle. Poured Hydrogen Peroxide and water into the bottle. The ratio should be 50:50 and must cover all the bones.


Going to leave the bottle for about a week or so OR up to the level of whiteness to your liking.


The lid of the bottle must be left loose as the Hydrogen Peroxide needs oxygen to react to make the bones white. Check the bottle often to see its progress. It's normal to see bubbles forming on the bones.
