Let stand four hours at no more than 80 degrees

The way I do cats is to salt, pickle, rub Liqua-tan in and let it set at no more than 80 degrees f, for four hours. Then either mount or freeze if materials have not arrived.

thanks

thanks john,
do you shave your cats? seems to me that they are thin enough already, except mabey for the face.
