Was it the Stop Rot?

[Mason(Ron&Linda)]

  2 years ago, I had an extra red squirrel form and eyes. Not a problem, as we have a million of them here. Would be somthing to tinker with during some down time. So, I went out and got one, brought it in and instead of throwing him in the freezer whole till I got to it. I figured I'd skin him out first. So, I skinned him out to the toenails, pulled the tail , then painted him real good with Stop Rot. I am very liberal with that  I filled the feet, and filled the tail with it. Didn't figure it'd be long till I got to him, so I put the hide in a single sandwich bag, tagged it,and in the freezer it went. Yesterday, 2YEARS LATER. In that single sandwich bag. That squirrel had NO freezer burn. I didn't even bother making sure I squeezed all the air out of the bag first.
  Did the Stop Rot help with the freezer burn?

I think it says on the bottle somewhere to spray it or brush it on the freezerburned ears of deer or whatever you are skinning.  It apparently helps with that.  How?  I don't know.  Ive only just started using it but if your squirrel turned out good after 2 years I will keep that in mind next time I skin something and don't think I will get to it in a while.  In 2 years ill let you know how it works for me.  LOL.

sounds like a typical stop rot story.

   We've used it since we started.
Use it on every critter that comes in the shop. Shocked me though, to see this squirrel hide after 2 years in a sandwich baggy

       I have put small mammals in sandwich bags with no stop rot on them for more than 2 years, and there is no freezer burn, and some of them were not skinned, those great sandwich bags eh!
