You must put your hide back into the pickle for at least an hour ( if
in a hurry), or preferably overnight before tanning. On especially
greasy hides (as many coyote and fox are) I degrease for four hours
or five. This give you a much better hide in the end, one less greasy.
May I ask what you use to degrease it. And is it degreased in a separate contained from the pickle. Thanks
i use Rittels super solvent and it most definetly needs to be seperate from the pickle
