Members Warren Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 Interesting concept. I would not have thought of skinning an animal that way, much less tanning it and turning it into a bag. As for the odor, a solution of baking soda and water to form a paste should work. Dry baking soda in a plastic bag would help also. Quote
Members Hidemechanic Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 It's actually a common way of skinning smaller hides. I'll try not to be too graphic, but you hang them upside down, slice the inside of the leg from one side to the other after cutting around the hock area, then start skinning with the opening you just made. Goes from the hind end of the animal to the head end. It comes off inside out but that's where you start salting it to dry. You end up with a tube shaped hide. GH Quote You did What??
Members WaG35 Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 Tae,The best way to get rid of the urine smell is to rub poop on it. If that don't work try this http://www.nextag.com/Chenille-Kraft-Wood-...645/prices-html Good Luck! That is funny Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 27, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 27, 2008 If all else fails and the bag still smells, you can try to find a product called "OdorNix". The manufacturer (when I knew him) was in Madison, Alabama. Odornix is an enzymatic odor eliminator. One of my regular customers in the WallyWorld garden center showed up one day with her ever present yellow lab who'd just been sprayed by a skunk. It took two bottles- one for dog, one for car- but it completely killed the skunk spray. Good stuff, and it will even pull VOC smells from clothing. Infact, here's the first hit that I got on Google: http://www.denniscastro.tv/websites/odornix/maincatalog.html It specifies Urine as an eliminatable smell. Hope all goes well. P.S. I'm in no way affiliated w/ the Odornix products or company, and will not profit from posting the link.
