borax /lysol...how long can I leave it in?

I plan on skinning some fish tommorrow and what to leave them in the borax/lysol over night. Is that going to be ok? If not how long to leave in. Thanks

That's what I typically do

I leave fish in it overnight except for delicate skinned fish like chromish summer salmonids.

If you think you will not be able to mount a fish in a couple of days either wait to skin it out or freeze the preserved skin until you are ready. I have left skins in the solution for a week or two but I would not reccomend it.

The master has spoken

Thanks Cecil. I was hoping you would answer. You are the Master!

Thank you but I am not the master

at least according to some on here. LOL

Wrong Cecil

Even I give you credit for your knowledge on TAXIDERMY. LOL
