wash after mounting gray fox

Submitted by whitney on 2/21/02. ( ) 64.216.158.44

I mounted my gray fox using liqui tan. After applying liqui tan I let it soak in over night and put the hide in the freezer for 3 or 4 days and then mounted it. The fur has liqui tan on it making it feel sticky. Can I wash it off with a hose after the mount has dried for a few days? I guess the question is: What is the best way to get the liqui tan out of the fur after it has been mounted without causing damage to the mount?

gallon of water.Put in an atomizer bottle, spray on and wipe off, leaves the mount nice and clean. For best results check with Bruce [hit his hyperlink] about any adverse effects to teh liqua tan, I've never used it, but use that recipe to get oil off of hides after mounting if I need to. Good Luck
