It is only pulling fur out. Anyone had this problem, I thought about mixing some conditioner and water and spraying it down?

I thought I could take a hammer and beat on them to soften them up. And that didn't even work. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

Actually I think it comes from cottonwood sap. Lot of it here in the glacial rivers where there is cottonwood. I just comb them out. That spot in the hide is toast if there are enough of them. Who is John Galt?

Ha ha, Gary you were around steel too long, just like me! A guy that worked for me used to call me hammerstein! Claimed I was the only one he had ever known that could fix anything with three tools, a screwdriver, pliers and......a hammer! lol YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com
