A while back I wrote that I used stop rot on a W/T wet tanned cape that I left on the bench for 8 hours and wanted to prevent slip on the muzzle\inner ear area so I applied and refroze it. I was sopposed to get back to Glen as to the results but forgot. Well I didn't get any slip at all and the cape turned out great. I finished thawing thinning an mounting as normal. The skin seemed to stay hydrated longer when taxing the skin with stop rot applied. I didn't even once have to pick up a spray bottle. I was just remembering this because I am looking for a place to hang the ribbon that the mount won since I entered it as a competition peace recently. Thanks Glen!

Keep your Mad Scientist hat handy. I just replied to another post in the bird category, but this info also applies to mammals, and I'm waiting on some photos from a longevity test on fish. I'm starting to feel like I'm going to run out of longevity before we get all the possibilities figured out.

You said you applied it to a wet-tanned cape? Once it's tanned, there should be no bacteria present causing slippage right?
