Mounting in warm weather

Submitted by Wayne on 5/29/01. ( ) 216.63.216.89

Once a cape is salted, fleshed, and tanned, are there any detrimental effects (slippage) caused by mounting in warm or hot weather? My air conditioned shop is not finished yet.

Thanks

I have no air in my shop and temps can reach an easy 80* and I have no problems with hides. Hope this helps some what.
