Looks like my plans of working a pelt tomorrow have been put on hold. I have brained the pelt, how do I “hold” it until I can get to it in a couple days?

If it dries will I have to start over or can I bring it back to the working step with a damp towel?

Wrap it in a damp towel, then a plastic bag and in the fridge. That will hold for a couple days. Any longer and I'd freeze it.

I'd just use a plastic bag in the fridge but yes, you can damp it back.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

So now I’ve done it. Rushed home and tried to get this thing squared away but again I will have to stop. I e got it broke but it isn’t warm to the touch, it’s not cold but not warm either. Back in the bag?

Here is a visual.

Don't you just have to break like a normal tan? If not, I'm sorry, but if you've applied the solution, then now you're waiting for it to dry, so you can break it. Sorry, if I'm not helping. I'm not versed on brain tanning, mind you.


Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

That will be great if I don’t have to worry about it drying before breaking it. I have always broke the pelts during the drying process. Anyway, too late now. I will be checking on it this morning as I other obligations prevented me from completing it last night.
