Before everybody jumps on your neck and tells you to go look in the Archives...
Split the tail its full length on the underside...remove the tailbone...then soak it in Borax Pickle Solution for four hours.
Formula: 1-Quart room temperature water
I-Cup Powder 20-Mule Teem Borax
T-Tablespoon Balmex (from Van Dyke)
Blot dry with towels...
then rub Dry Preservative or Borax into the skin.
Sew the skin closed along the incision...let it dry a weel.
Attach a 'THONG'...and hanggit on yer bicycle handlebar.

Just keep explaining it again. Do not complain that they want it all easy and that it was much harder when you came through. You are adding to it.
