When you turn anything other than cats from hair in to hair out and put them back on the stretchers are you guys pulling the legs out or leaving them in? What are most of the fur buyers looking for? Is there any problem with not getting them dry and rotting?
Thanks Griz

In.
I cut off legs at elbow.
After fleshing and boarding (fur in), I borax tail, legs, arm pits, face & ears.
Then keep legs inside when turning fur out.

That's what I do as well... I do put a little borax under the legs when they are leather side out. Brush it off when I flip them.
