I read one article that recommended rubbing with cornmeal to get the borax out.
Of course, then you have to get the cornmeal out!
Then you'd have to use something to get out whatever you got the cornmeal out with....
This could take awhile!
Thanks all. The pelt is now in a cool place, boraxed up and waiting till I feel like looking at it again. If I leave it there for several weeks, will it hurt it? Or can I ignore it till Christmas?
Don't know which forum this fits in...
I have a young rooster that I have to butcher, but my nephew wants the pelt, feathers and skin and all, to use the feathers to tie fishing flies. He's really quite good, an artist.
Anyway, after I skin the bird, what do I do with the pelt? Is it best...
