If you treat it properly. Pouring boiling water all over it, soak it for a week with putting all sorts of meds in there liek de worm ect. Thats why I do.

I boil mine in a 55gallon drum I rig up in my yard. Nice piece

boil is the way forward

I rinse them off and set in the sun for a few days in clear plastic.

A piece I found around 2 years ago was about 9" long and 6" wide. It was for my turtle tank. I boiled it in water for one week after cleaning it very thoroughly with a brand new sponge I bought and a bunch of steamy water. Just boil it in hot water.

another method is to bake it in the oven... so i guess just depends which method you prefer... or you could go all out and do both... bake then boil..
