I am going to pickle a small bear and want to know if there is anything I can add to the pickle to help with grease removal?
Thank You

Why add it?

Most Taxidermists simply remove the Bear, drain it for 30 minutes, then shave it, throw it in a degreasing solution for 30 minutes (like our Rittel's Super Solvent #SS-618), wash it, rinse, and throw it back into the pickle. Degreasing seprately doesnt mess up the Ph of your pickling solution, like an additive would!

Thank You Mr Rittel

Thanks for your input I will order some of your super solvent and get started.
Best Regards
