Bleaching an old polar bear rug

[animalia]

After some years I´m in the process to open my taxidermy studio again, and I have a very old rug of a polar bear that I have to be bleaching, how or what product can I use  to do that

Thanks

I am not a taxidermist, but from what I have seen you have to use something like basic white and 40 volume cream. It is used for bleaching human hair and you can get it at a beauty supply place. Do NOT use real bleach on it you will ruin it. And the fur has to be pretty clean before you did this. I would dust it with a air compressor first. Also be careful not to get it on the frill part of the rug and the claws because it can discolor them.

you could bleach it with the option mentioned above but be extremly careful old old skins do not take bleach well and it is very possible to ruin it.
