I have heard of that but never tried it. I had putting up greasers.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Mineral spirits is good to remove grease and oil from the fur.Should be able to wipe down the leather with a dry rag,I wouldnt put solvents on the leather.
varsol is commonly used in the media when drumming drum pelts

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Usually I just wipe oil with paper towing, shine up dry rat pelts with oily rag from coon hides

Conman I think I seen the same video, guy used grocery carts to move coons around. He looked like he had a good system down. Coons looked good too.

Sounds like Next Gen Trapper. He caught like 2,000 coons last year.

Just use a greaser rag…don’t add a thing. Start with a dry rag. The more you wipe down, the better it gets.
