It was so soft when I bought it, but over the years it has gathered grease and doesn’t feel as good as it used to. I’m a complete beginner to all of this. We don’t have any taxidermy shops in the UK so I will have to get it degreased myself... so do you guys have any ideas? Simple the better... hopefully without ruining my pillow!!! Thank you!

Dampen some hardwood sawdust or cobgrit with half and half mineral spirits and water-then tumble for half an hour in a bag in the dryer with the heat turned off. Blow out the fur after with an air compressor or shop vac. Last edited by Boco; 04/03/21 07:11 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
