Rat taxidermy skinning help?
Hey Guys, i have recently skinned a large rat, and having done a pretty good job at keeing shape and such, i am wondering about preservation.
I have removed most of the fatty skin on the actual skin, and after having washed it and put shedloads of borax in, ther are still a few areas of fatty skin and few redish areas of skin aroudn the head.
Now i plan on keeping for a while and doign a worthwhile job and i dont want anything to rott or go smelly, any and all help is greatly appreciated on the matter.
its current state is covered in borax pending the voodoo doll insert. ! THANKS! andypandy
what impact will the extra bits of flesh have on the end result ?* like smell or anthing? i have used lots of borax*
i thought the question was pretty obvious.
And your question is?
