Boiling often makes the bone constrict and I have seen warped skulls where teeth no longer fit into the sockets and nasal cavities all collapsed. Boiling is only good for certain things. I would only use it to get the initial flesh/skin off but never to completely get a bone. It can also discolor the skull to a more non-natural yellow color.
