In order for us to give you the best possible product we need you to do the following.
First carefully inspect
the skin when you get it. Make sure that it is properly scraped and that all the bones in tails and feet are removed,
lips are split and ears are turned. Proper salting will help eliminate most problems. The cleaner the skin and the
better the salting job the better it will turn out and the less money you will spend.
To be clear, after the animal
is skinned and scraped, it should be placed on a 45 degree angle to drain at least over night. It is important to rub
preferably a fine salt into the face and any of the folds in the skin. Using a fan will help to dry the skin and the
salt should be at least 1/4 inch thinck on the skin. The next day the salt should be shaken off and the process repeated
again at a 45 degree angle with fresh salt. This process should be repeated until the skins are cardboard dry. Then
folded and boxed. Skins that are not properly scraped, salted or otherwise properly prepared will be subject to a 50%
increase.
If you have a questionable skin please call us and let us know. This way we can work with you and in most
cases save the skin with special treatment during tanning.
