Did not clean it well enough did you, degrease use sopa and rinse the soap, rinsing is just as imporant as the mounting maybe even more so. I rinse until the water is clear, I may even wash it 2-3 times until I am sure of a clean skin.
Now just wash with lacquer thinner and low dry all you can do.
....You must take time to clean your bird skin.A pheasant can't be worse then a duck skin to clean.Put some borax on your skin and clean has you go?...Lloyd
