To Bruce Rittel if you are listening:
My taxidermist husband suggested directing this question to you. I am a college student who has been given an assignment to write a comparison/contrast paper. Thought it would be interesting, and different, to do a paper on tanning vs. dry preservative. Can you please give me some factual details on the differences and/or similarities between the two methods?
ratther that having someone draw the difference from you I would suggest you going to SEARCH and type TANNING then type DP...... then search TANNING AND DP. There is a lot written about this topic more that we could write in this post
Good luck in you paper
