krowtan hide prep after freezing

I am getting ready to mount a coyote and fox that I had tanned in krowtan and would like to know what steps I should take after I remove the hides from the freezer. Do I need to wash and sweat and tumble, or just let the hide thaw then mount? Any help would be appreciated.

Thaw and mount

If the hides have been totally fleshed and need no further work, all you have to do is thaw and mount. If they have been neutralized enough they should have plenty of stretch. If they become somewhat dry while mounting just dampen with water and they will be easier to work with.


Thanks
