Bird skin question

Recommended Posts

Do you remove and curing product from the skin?

 

If the skin is loaded with let's say Borax do you shake it off the skin?

 

Thanks

Thanks that's what I thought I should do but wasn't sure

 

I bought a Hungarian Partridge skin and should receive it tomorrow. I'll give it a good shake out

I would actually suggest shaking it off, and rubbing a fresh layer of borax in the skin, letting it sit, and shaking it off again. It'll help to pull out any moisture that may have been absorbed in the shipping process. And perhaps to further ensure the absence of bugs.
