I did a real crappy rushed job of skinning it, in addition, i really am not looking to spend a bunch of money on supplies so I first got it home and did a quick fleshing to it, then i let it sit tacked to the board with borax on it(IDK why, wasn't thinking), then today, i got off as much oil as i could by washing in palmolive and water, and rubbing the palmolive strait into it and rinsing it. But, it was still greasy so i said screw it and sprayed it with mean green(an industrial strength degreaser like simple green, and rinsed, then i towel dried it, then air dried it over a fan, then when only slightly moist, i put a layer of salt and a thin layer of borax over it to repel any insects. I plan to just continue to dry it like this, then cure it a bit more with borax, and maybe rub a little mineral oil into it in the end. Im not expecting a high quality pelt, i really just wanted to try my hand at it, and maybe, get a pelt to hang on the wall for a couple years.
