I recently got several hides back from a tannery. (beaver, coyote, two otters, and a prairie dog) Unlike hides I've had tanned before, these were very gummy feeling. Kinda greasy with matted fur. Makes you feel like you MUST wash your hands after handling.
My question is this - can I soak in soapy water and try to degrease them without damaging them? Will it hurt the "tan" that the tannery did?
After the money I spent to have them tanned I'm a pretty bummed by the end result. Any advice would be much appreciated!!
