I have a couple of boar heads to do and I was wondering if you have to keep the cape in the pickle any longer than a wt cape? Also do you have to make the pickle itself up any differently. What I do is 5 gallons of water, 5 lbs of salt, and 2 1/2 oz of saftee acid. I keep the PH between 1 and 1.5. Thanks in advance
