I am working on editing the little booklet I made from them based on feedback from all the people using those directions.

I ended up fully submerging them in a good amount of Dawn and warm water rinsing until clear then reboarding and once they started to dry spray a little 50/50 mixture on thicker spots. Also he says mineral spirits which is pretty generic. Used clear lamp oil for the finish on the fur. I still am going to blow dry the fur but they are pretty much done. Matthew 5:3-12
