Sold some Stop Rot to one of my customers, they applied it to a fresh antelope cape, double wrapped in plastic and kept the cape in a cooler of ice for 5 days till they got back, cape was in great shape. The temps ranged from the mid 50's to low 70's.

Hip-O,

I have a "suspicious" smeelling deer cape. I am wondering where I can find Stop Rot?
