Hair slipping fox.

Dont wash the skins before Salting. Fox skins are very easy to slip, but usualy on the belly. Shamppoo is not a good thing too. it has a very high pH.
If your skins are frozen, wash it briefly and Salt it for 24 hour. then shake the old, and whith new salt for another 24 hours. Salt locks the hair.

 

From this 10 furs, do you know how they were andled before frozen? if not skined and frozen in few hours they can have roten.

 

Anything done TOO much will obviously cause problems. It's difficult to troubleshoot your method without seeing you scrape. How come the other 120 didn't slip?

Fox are prone to slipping. Losing 8% to slipping isn't a bad number but, of course, we hate to lose any hides. Unless you caught and dispatched all 120 of those fox yourself how can you know for sure how they were handled?

 

Good Point, Cyclone!

I thaw mine generally just in the sink propped up to let any blood drain from the critter. usually overnight and it's ready in the morning to skin out. Or I will let it that in the fridge. I just want the skin to be loose. Most of the time the critters are still partially frozen when I'm skinning them.
Loosing hair where you say is kind of strange. Have you tried stop rot and I'm not sure if you can get it there.
also if the hair is slipping are you seeing the total hair shaft and roots or no roots at all? If you have no roots ( hair follicles) then you are cutting the them and that is the problem. If not then it's bacteria growth.

 

I think that you should not thaw your skins out for 8 to 10 hours in water and salt, thaw them out if you LIKE IN water and wash at the same time with no soap should only take an hour or so. Fox are thin skinned, after washing and draining place them in the pickle and agitate often, after a few days you can scrape off the membrane, the pickle will toughen up the skin and removing the membrane is very easy hardly any scraping, you can pull it off in large sheets at times, when working with fox time is of the essence when they are in the raw state, aim to get them in the pickle s.a.p.

 

I allwais shave the meat and fat after salting and pickling and never have problems. 15 year ago, wen start my business, had many problems like that, because i Don't salted my furs. Bruce Rittels publications on Breakthrough open my eyes.

 

Vad jag försöker säga här är när håret kommer ut ser längst ner i håret. Om botten av håret shat ser ut som det finns en lampa titt på den då din räv halka. Om det finns ingen lampa på undersidan av axeln då du har klippt in i hårsäcken och du rakat tunna.

Kommer ut i klumpar som du uppgav orsakar låter som avvikelsen av bakterier och jag skulle tänka på hur tinar du ditt arbete.

Jag hoppas att detta hjälper. Översatt av Bing för mig så jag hoppas jag ok för dig.

 

Can you translate that? ;D

 

I think the problem is bacteria because if that's for the scraping the fur will loose hair in other locals too. Do you mean 10 gr Salt for Liter of watter?
thawing for that time is too long! Thaw for less time or ad a Bactericide or ad more Salt! If you use Any commercial product like Mollescal (BASF) no need for Bactericide!
