I then give it a good shaking in the borax tub... I use one of those 8 gallon plastic tubs - I put it on the board flesh out and leave it until it is ready to turn... I then turn it and put it back in the tub for another good shake and it goes on the board to dry... Using a fan it cuts the drying time by about 1/2 or better... After it comes off the board, I pop the pelt several times and it goes on the storage racks, then when it is time to get the fur ready to ship... I blow the fur down really good with an air compressor, blowing the fur from the tail to the head... then brush it.... it works for me.... Good Luck and God Bless you and yours, bulletbox, TEXAS Even sheep are smart enough to shade up when it gets over 100....
