I’ve got a really nice skunk I’m tanning right now to taxidermy. His white stripes are more yellow than white.
Is there a way I can whiten them ?

I’d send it in and see how it comes back if you mess with it now you might damage it in a few different
ways.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Will probably depend if the yellowing is staining or genetics. I would be careful trying to lighten it. Might not have the effect you were hoping for.

Why not leave the way it is?? Not all skunk stripes are naturally white.
