ps. If they are a bit leaky put a piece of plain cardboard in the zip lock bag as backing to absorb any oil.

Hi Smelly cat As long as your capes stay dry there should be no problem, if you have any fat/meat still on the skin just cut it off. I always put my capes in separate zip seal freezer bags to stop any bugs/moth larvae getting at them. The whiting variety packs are good but its the luck of the draw I suppose.

Thanks. That is very thoughtful of you, I don't want to be a statistic. If I am unlucky enough to win the lottery here in the UK it will be in the post.

Another method you can try is... Get a big pickle jar (1.5 litre) & pour in 1/2 a litre of Luke warm water, Don't use hot water it can make the dyes run!! Throw your dubbing in & shake vigorously for a while. Drain of the water in a fine sieve & put your dubbing on kitchen towel to dry. Job done.
