Hey guys,
Just a little tip for relaxing air dried hides with saddles left on, mink and muskrat, add 4 fluid ounces of white vinegar, 8oz (1cup) of salt, 1oz of bleach per gallon of water. Watch how easy they flesh after soaking over night. The vinegar acts as a relaxer, salt sets the hair, bleach is the antibacterial.

Yes, it will slightly swell the hide back to its original thickness before drying. Make sure the back of the neck is fully rehydrated, usually the thickest and last part to finish, especially on beaver. Any stiff or "hard" spots need more time to soak, they wont Flesh as easily or tan if not fully rehydrated. It will only surface tan.

First week in May is come and gone or is that May 2016 for a delivery date? When are you gonna square up or make things right ?Answer your phone or return messages and I wouldnt have to use the internet.Do you even trap?Lots of fox out your way ,go catch some if so and pay me back my money I sent you.You cant catch enough fox to equal the value I have with the red and mink my grand daughter and I sent you after putting them up ,brushing them out, tracing her hand size , picking out colors and styles of mitts and ear muffs. I have my suspicions where they are.Gonna be more promotion and push for the use of wild fur in the U.S.A.I will catch more ,she and her friends will be wearing fur to school .
