I need to glue back in the two nose pieces of my buck.
Do I super-glue the pieces back in before using the peroxide or after?

after
if done before the peroxide will pull the marrow (I guess) from the bone to the super glue giving you a nice red tint...Or at least it did on one I was doing several years ago.

Where's the best place to get the peroxide?
Also, would it work just as well to wrap the skull in rags/paper towels saturated with the peroxide, rather than soaking it?

The very best thing to do is go to a sallys beauty supply near you..Google it for locations. You can buy volume 40 there. They also sale a product to mixe with it called basic white. wear gloves using vol40.. burn your skin. anyhow you mix it to a mayo thickness and brush it on. then slip skull into a garbage bag and close it up with the antlers burs on the outside of the bag, This will keep the mix from drying out on you and allowing it to do its job. If you have degreased and cleaned your skull like you should have this will give great results. and is cheaper then soaking or paper towel or bath rags...trust me...been doing skulls for a long time.... regardless of the best cleaning methods this is the best whiting method. IMO only and that of several well qualified taxidermist on taxinet. one guy wraps his in clear plastic after brushing it on and puts in under a heat source...I haven't seen the need to risk catching the plastic on fire. Good luck..

it doesn't take much doing it that way..out of 1-2 bottles Depending on size I get of peroxide and one tub of basic white I get 3 -5 skulls. sometimes I over mix when doing one or two skulls at a time..That is why I like to do 5 at a time

Should have added you need to keep the skull wet prior to putting the mix on it...if left out to dry then the mix put on some dont do as well.
And yeah they can smell a little simmering the meat off. Not as bad as masacrateing(sp) try that next time.

Boiling Question: Do I need to remove the eyes and the brain before boiling?
More like a simmer question, yes, remove as much of the meat as possible before putting in the pot, eyes, brain, tongue, etc. Less material for the mixture to penetrate and faster pot time.
