turkey tail fan on plaque

I want to mount my own tail and beard on a plaque this year and was wondering if you have to freeze dry the bases of these two or can they be injected with something.

They have to be cleaned out manually. There's fat and meat that MUST be removed completely.


Borax

Robbie first go to the search and type in preserving a turkey tail.
After removing fat and meat rub in borax and set up and let dry. 20 mule team borax from walmart will do, laundry detergent section.
