Add another tank heater, drape a black trash bag over the top of that bucket and put an old blanket or a couple of shop towels over the top of that. Will really help hold heat in if you do. Your close, just need to get the heat up and let er rot minus the soap and rid x.

It should be nothing but water. The dish soap is killing off your rot. Don't degrease till after the skull is totally clean. Hot water for about 17-18 days had my skulls totally clean. Then I degreased and hit them with peroxide. Yep you're right, shop stinks like a bastard again.... grin

The odor is kind of rough. I hate to say it but after about 5 skulls this fall, I almost got used to it. Let it go for 10-12 more days and you should be done. It'll be worth it.

I put mine in a large Rubbermaid Rough Tote type container with a lid and put it on the deck(had to be close enough to an outlet for the heater). This cut down the stench about 90%. Pop the lid off to check on it and it will bring tears to your eyes though.

JSH, You doing this on skulls with no antlers or how are you fitting those? If with antlers, I'd like to see a pic of that setup.

Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds. That's simply the way it is.

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Just a large plastic tote with a lid and I run the aquarium heater cord out the lid. Nothing fancy. The key is to not shoot too big a buck so that the antlers fit.  I think you can get the container even larger if needed but this probably wouldn't work for an elk. I fill the water right up to the base of the antlers but don't submerge them. It really does cut down the smell a lot. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/W0nJ1xS.jpg)
