Spent the better part of the mourning searching the archives still can't find my answer.I am working on a canada goose,it has been skinned de fatted washed and I would like to refreeze it so I can work on it next saturday so I'll have a full day.Now my question is do I need to completly dry the bird or is towel dry good enough?,should it be boraxed now?or before mounting.
Thank you

Squeeze out excess water and freeze it. Take it out of the freezer Friday and mount as usual on Saturday.
