Got a question... after you take fur off the strecther, what is the best way to store it until you want to ship it or sell? lay it flat? or keep hung?

but it in a bread bag and put it in a freezer. Just don't put more than 2 pelts in a bag at a time!

LOL doubt youll get much more than a weasal in a bread bag. Either hang em or put them in a fur bag that the auctions give out.

yeah I've always just hung them once strechted and dried, but didnt know if it would be better to lay them flat out or not. I know I'm not fitting no coon or fox into a bread bag...

I can fit 2 coon pelts in it and still have some room.

oooh I'm sorry, I might have confused you....I forgot to say you have to roll it up real tight..THEN put the pelt in the bread bag.

These are strecthed and dried, no rolling them and putting them in a bread bag. MY Question is should I keep them hung up after taking them off the strecther or lay them flat out...

I'm only trying to help......when you put the pelt in the freezer it preserves it.

Hang in a cool, dry place, out of any direct sun. It will be fine for quite awhile. Periodicaly check for any oil/grease that may appear, and wipe down as needed. That's all.

I wipe the grease off before putting them in a fur bag. Dont have the room to lay them flat I cram as many as possible in to a nafa bag.

I usually let them hang after I take off the strechter after dried just wandering if I should continue to do that? or lay out.. thanks for the responses so far.. just trying to better the way my fur is presented...

Matt I just let them hang.

I like wrapping mine in newspaper, then stacking flat. First I wipe off any extra grease/oil then roll/wrap in a sheet or two of newspaper. This will absorb quite a bit more grease and I may change the wrap once or twice and wipe them off another time or two before actually shipping/selling them.

The only special care you need to give stretched and dried pelts is to keep them out of damp areas.They will be just fine until spring when the fur bugs appear. Then they need to be protected and a freezer is as good as any place. I woud not reccommend wiping the natural oil off of any pelt that is handled fur out. This oily look adds sheen and keeps pelts looking fresh. Terry

Once they're dry and off the stretcher I hang them up to save space. Shouldn't matter if you lay them flat or hang up, just keep them where the mice can't get to the hides too easy.

hang them on a nail then ship them or go to fur buyer good luck
