i am a student at the u-wisconsin at madison. the university theatre is currently preparing for a show that requires the use of several animal skins. among them is a skin we believe to be from a gazelle. it was shedding so we tried to remove the excess hair, but there seems to be no end! please advise on the best way to stop the hair from falling out. someone had mentioned using rubber cement...
please either post responses here or email rachel at wontonwombat@aol.com , subject: GAZELLE
thank you in advance.

Rachel,
It looks like you have a bad skin(bad tan or bad care in the field) and there is nothing that will keep the hair from falling out. Try to see if you can get a better quality skin.

Sorry to say-if its tanned and the hair is falling out............I agree with "Smut". There is nothing you can do. As for the rubber cement................LOL! But, you have nothing to lose at this point! Skullboy.
