I looked through the archives but didn't find.
I just mounted a deer that I knew the hair was slipping on. I had a couple of bald spots that I cut out and repaired and the rest of the mount looks ok right now but I know the rest of the hair is not tight. I very lightly brushed and sprayed with hair spray. I read that stop slip is what I need to use but do not have, or spray with denatured alcohol which I would be concerned moving the hair enough to spay the skin. Also read to let dry then lightly brush.
What is the best thing to do at this point? What I was thinking was to let dry and order some stop slip if was not too late to apply in a week.
Thanks Johnny

by just letting it dry will "help" I would order the Stop Slip just because every shop should have a bottle on hand for just such cases. You should let the hair dry before you use the stop slip any way. And do not brush any more than you have to! Joe
The hair should set up and should stop slipping after it dries
I am working on 3 deer capes that were trashed. They were slipping horribly but they were all in the pickle when I first noticed it. I read everything on Glen's website about slipping and Stop Slip. I have shaved these hides and I have let them air dry to where they were thirsty and then I applied straight Stop Slip to each hide. After they soaked up the stop slip they went back into the pickle with more Stop Slip. I might end up using a lot of it but if this works I can always buy more. From what I can tell by stirring the pickle around it looks to have slowed it down tremendously already. These hides may end up being mountable after all. I will keep you all posted and will let you know the results. They will receive more stop slip if I see a problem still. Stay tuned! Thanks and Good Luck. Dan Hudzik
right? Do you mean STOP-ROT? Or Stop Slip? I use stop slip on finished deer and such when dry... it's like hair spray. STOP-ROT is a pre treatment. Just wanted to make sure buddy. Joe
No I wasn't thinking righ! LOL Thanks for the correction there Joe! LOL Glad to see someone straightening me out! Dan
i believe Glen has come op with some evidence of stop rot working on a tanned cape
maybe he could comment further
