    Just doing some skins. One fox that is a yr old and a fisher that was frozen for years and skun last year that had some freeze dried skin so to speak. I do not have rot stuff as I just started tanning at home last year with, that Bird stuff (KT). But does it risk fur overnite in salt solution w/o anything else? I do have relaxer but did not add as affraid it would interfere w/ KT. I set it in the garage overnite High 60s and put bucket in fridge this AM.

    It will not hurt at all use 1 pound salt per gallon of water and a good bactericide The warm weather will not hurt it.I have 4 Cape Buffalo feet that was in a rehydrate bath for 3 weeks and are still good.Just put them in the acid bath today.
