First off if it is a customers cape inform them of the problem right away and see what they want to do. Don't know if you have already pickled or tanned, mounted ect. so it's kind of a tough call but don't pull on the hair,if it has been pickled/tanned you might try stop rot.. I have never used it myself but I have heard it works miracles. And if it's mounted up get it in front of a fan and let it dry. If it's still green I have used KrowTann 2000 on hides that were slipping pretty bad and they turned out fine but it's always a real gamble if their slipping so don't get your hopes up to high.
Hope this helps ya out.
Thank You for your help.The deer as done in Citric Acid and then tanned with tanning cream from John Rinehart (McKenzie.Looked great but when we put it on the form it started to slip.I don't know what is going on.
Tye,if you can repair the slip areas go ahead.Then put a fan on the mount and let it dry ,don't groom or do anything til its dry-thats about all you can do for that cape.I have sprayed stop-slip on some problem capes but am not convinced it really helped,but the faster you get the hide dry the better off you'll be.
get it in front of dehumidifier and fan dont touch till dry.
