coupe312 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 after scrping the skins i drop them in meths works well, or alum or borax works well. i prefer pinning out then borax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victor 10 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 same way we did wit deer roo foxes , pin them to a board, (flesh up wards) then flesh them by pelling all that milk,fta and meat left behins, rub a thijnck layer of salt into it not rock salt, arfter 3 houors scrape all the wet salt off and repet untill there is no wet salt, and you'll have a nice skin, but im not to sure if the hait may slip. you may have to make a pickling mix or buy a taning kit either either.
