Degreasing Beaver

Submitted by JC on 1/19/02. ( jlc00050@cs.com ) 152.163.188.193

Looking for suggestions from the Pro's on the best method for degreasing a beaver skin. I have tried a couple of different things but I am not getting what I think are really good skins. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Beaver are tough, you have to get a good thin skin to get the adipose fat out of the skin. I like Rittels Super Solvent, works very well for this.


what order ?

What order do you do it ? Should you degrease before pickling ?
