Am working on a clients goat that i pretty much recieved in the nick of time .(small amount of hair slip and loose hair and very smelly/rotten smell)
As such , i was reluctant to degrease as much as i like and tanned & mounted him as soon as i could.
now hes a bit smelly. (goat smell)
I have gone thru the archs and so far i have;
given him a quick wash with nice shampoo once mounted and dry,
wet some sawdust with white spirit and rubbed it in , left 20 min and airhosed out
and
febreezed and aired the heck outa him.
i dont think the smell is that bad,(guess im used to worse smells), but my hubby complains about it as soo as he walks in my work room.
Anything else i can do - i dont want the client complaining too.

Are you sure its not the horns? How did you handle and prepare them?
No, i boiled, scraped and cleaned cores and disenfected & boraxed them as i usually do.
I ended up buying a product here - i guess you'd have it there - Nilodor - 2 squirts in the hair and the smell has gone. :-)
I will hold onto the goat for another month to see if it returns.
I mounted one about 4 yrs ago, commercially tanned cape, lysol, fabreeze, everything and the cape still has an odor under the right conditions. Mounted 2 others at the same time and they lost their oder after about a year.
