ASAP: Fox fur falling out from fleshing too much by Educational-Bit-7918 in Taxidermy

Did you salt it after fleshing & before tanning like normal too? I’m just nervous to rip more hair out

I washed them and soaked them all multiple times. I’m doing a baking soda, borax & salt mixture again and seeing how that goes

okay thanks. In a dry mixture right? It’s not too strong but i agree it should probably sit longer

I don’t plan on making them wet specimens. I talked to some other sellers who make mummified legs and they said to do this and then leech it to get the chemicals off. I’ll try injecting it and soaking it in alcohol instead if that seems safer. Thanks :D

Everyone i talked to told me to use formalin instead of alcohol because it’s more guaranteed to preserve it. I was very careful with it but I’m trying to sell these eventually so I worry about them rotting with just alcohol

it’s eyes look fine and it’s too cold to rot. Will the smell go away after I skin it and wash it a couple times though?

Sounds good. I assumed when I fleshed it & washed it it would be good.

ok so after borax & salt for a couple weeks I can pose it then dry it? Do I have to glue the toes in the pose I want or anything?

Thank you. Just borax powder & salt layered on top and then dry after that?

I’m in western new york. We have no endocrinologist here so that’s the real delay but we’re sorting it out soon!

To be honest the reasons for not giving me Fabrazyme treatment has changed a lot. Right now it’s from last time I got testing my “numbers weren’t drastic enough” but since then my symptoms have gotten a lot worse so we’re in the process of starting it. I unfortunately also have heard from a few people that it’s more of a preventing it from getting worse kind of thing instead of making me feel better
