Freezing a Liqua Tanned cape

Submitted by sheldon on 01/22/2004. ( ) 207.179.190.1



Goerge your reply to my earlier post got me wondering?
Can someone briefly describe a suggested method using liqua tan. Can I freeze the liqua tan cape, thaw and mount or is some sort of rehydration necessary?
Is the pickle necessary?
Can I?
1-flesh
2-salt 24 hrs
3-wash in salt brine, dawn and germicide for 3 hrs
4-drain, towel dry, fine flesh
5-apply liqua tan overnite
6-freeze
7-thaw and mount
?
Sorry if the question seems broad, but your input is greatly respected and apprechiated.

Just rinse the salt off and wash quickly in Dawn if that's your choice of soaps. Forget that 3 hours business as that's entirely too long for a hide to be exposed to a higher pH (That makes hair fall out). Rinse quickly, towel dry, and flesh. Then continue the steps you have described.


Thank You George
