To properly prepare your hides we suggest that the hides be salted and dried. If you follow these steps the quality of the finished hides will be improved.

  Large pieces of meat or fat should be “beamed” off. Please make every effort to keep

        blood contamination to a minimum.

  Eyes, ears, nose and lips should be prepared and paws (if present) should be

        skinned.

  Using fine non-iodized salt, thoroughly salt hides making sure that all areas are

        saturated and the edges are flat.

  Place the hides on a flat inclined surface to allow moisture to run off.

  After 24 hours, repeat steps 3 and 4.

  After an additional 24 hours, re-salt and hang hides to dry (over a saw horse works  

        fine).
