I need to tan a large alligator hide with the scales on.
It will be about 1/4 in thick in spots. It has to remain
soft so I can mount it. THANKS.
Roger Martin wrote an article on this subject for the magazine "Taxidermy Today" - Nov-Dec Issue 2000. Give them a call and see if you can get a back issue to use as a reference. It covers skinning, tanning and mounting the head. They can be called at (800) 851-7955.
