SOAKING
INSTRUCTIONS
For Shoulder Mounts
(Deer, Moose, Elk,
Caribou, Sheep, etc)
Prepare desired soaking formula making sure all
ingredients are thoroughly mixed and
dissolved.
Soak skin in formula for 30 minutes to 2
hours depending on the size and
thickness of the cape. Check
frequently for softness. When skin
is soft rinse
with clean water and drain. If
ears are still firm wrap them with a
wet cloth. Role cape while wet
then place
in a plastic bag and refrigerate
overnight. After rehydration
is the
best time to take accurate measurements

SWABBING Formula
1/4
cup liquid detergent
1/4 cup
Lysol or 1 oz. Phenol
for each
5 gallons of water
Detergent is used to help the skin
absorb water. Lysol/Phenol helps
prevent bacteria and
mold growth |
SWABBING INSTRUCTIONS
(Fur
Skins, Bear, Rug Skins, etc)
For heavier skins (bear, zebra, etc)
pre soak head and feet only in
soaking formula (A) before applying
swabbing formula. Try to keep
the body hair dry and clean. Smaller
skins (fox, coyote, raccoon, etc)
may not require pre soaking.
Apply the Swabbing Solution to the
flesh side of the skin with a
sponge. Allow the skin to
absorb the solution until skin
becomes soft. A wet towel may
be placed on heavier skins
to aid in the rehydration. If
ears and feet require further rehydration
wrap individually with a wet cloth.
Roll skin then place in a
plastic bag and refrigerate
overnight. Refrigerate or
store skin in freezer until ready to
mount.
