Relaxing Rabbit

Submitted by Randy on 03/17/2003. ( ) 205.132.76.26

I have a pair of jackrabbit capes skinned out and soaking in denatured alcohol. They have been there for a couple weeks and will be for a couple more weeks before mounting with D.P. My question is, what would be the best method for relaxing them after taking out of alcohol?

put it in the trash you should have frozen them when ready then take out flesh it of fat and meat then dry prez.them then mount them on the form.now you have to get all the chemical out of the skin and its will be a month that its been in the alcohol i only use that stuff on thin skin fish with loose scales and soak for 1/2 hr.hope you make out ok good luck
