Denatured Alcohol Question

Just salt them heavy then air dry , I believe it be a hit and mis kinda thing with the D.A on the tanning thing .

 

Do what was said above salt and dry and forget alcohol as that’s may only cause issues .

 

I was given advice once to freeze deer hides in DA so they could be instantly thawed… and it shrunk and drew up before I even mounted it so bad I had to butcher the form and it looked like a giraffe. Literally the biggest screw up in my entire taxi career. Had to source a replacement cape and another form. Ever since then, Denatured Alcohol is not allowed on the premises.

 

If you soaked it back up in water it would have let itself relaxed and you would have gotten it back. I still wouldn’t use this useless method on deer but its great on fish and even with them you must place in water or rinse very well to relax the skin again.

 

That would have been great to know then hahaha should have made a post about it. Guess I was too embarrassed.
