Drumming is the only way I know of to get grease out of the fur on a dry pelt.

If its just around the skirt,you could try spraying it with mineral spirits,then sprinkle on some corn meal and brush/rub it in vigorously(be careful not to rip the dry pelt),then shake it out,repeat if necessary.

It'll take a couple days for the mineral spirits to evaporate after so it may still look a little greasy for a day or two.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

With borax how long do I leave it on the pelt? I do'nt think it really matters but I usually leave it on 5-10 minutes then brush and shake it out. Just make sure it,s all shaken out before shipping.

Saw dust is cheaper and it absorbs the oils/fats Rub it in and then comb it out
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

The air compressor Is the trappers best friend.
You can just about blow all the water out of any wet carcass critters In a few seconds. And It would blow out any borax or saw dust. And It fluffs up the fur when doing It.
