It's a lot less stinky and goes faster than a long boil in water.

While these horns look like a good deal for the money, it's a lot more fun and satisfying to make your own...but that's just me :-)
If you keep an eye on the DIY section, you'll find that I love doing it myself, and do indeed find it to be very rewarding. I have 2 horns that I have cleaned and polished- which in itself turned out to be a smelly project- so I may have to give it a shot!
