How do you guys rehydrate your dried skins? I got some from a family member who didn't want them anymore. They are a coyote,skunk,and some foxes.

I use about a cup of non-iodine salt mixed in about 2 1/2 gal water soak for couple of hours, hang dry for 20 minutes and bag it and put in fridge over night. should be ready to stretch and mount.   good luck
