Any of you old timers remember a magazine called Taxidermy Review? Well in one issue, Vol.VI
No.6,May-June,1978,(bobcat on cover)there was an article about using that formula for small mammal mounting.It was
written by a museum taxidermist.In it, he used ethyl alcohol and turpentine in a 50-50 solution.The
specimen in the article was a rabbit. He claimed this solution toughens delicate skins and prevents hair
slippage. I personally use Stop-Rot.
