Freezing tanned coon & rehydrating?

Hey all... Will be starting my first coon this week when I get the form in. I bought the coon dry (was tanned with Lutan F) and rehydrated in water, salt, and Kemal 4 so I could take more accurate measurements. Put it in a freezer bag and into the freezer it went wet until I mount. My question: Will I be alright if I just thaw it out fully, rehydrate like normal, and then mount? Thanks, Jason

I shouldn't need rehydration

If it's wet frozen, it will stay hydrated as it thaws. Simply proceed with your mounting when you're ready.
