I absent Mindly forgot to put in belly wedge on 2 mink, they are stuck right now, I just try put them in freezer, would slit them up the belly side devalue the pelt? What other way is there ? I read that put in freezer would work to get them off?

I did that to a mink. Banged the nose end onto the floor a couple times and it came loose…

Wrap them with a damp towel to get them pliable then insert belly wedge & redry.

I already try bang on the nose, they are dry rock hard

How long would u have to wrap with damp towel? U wouldn't want the fur inside wet

I've done that with otter several times. Like elsmasho said. a few good hard taps on the nose. Then I put the bottom of the board in a vise and used leather gloves for grip and was able to pull them off. I would think mink would be a bit easier?

Overnight wrap in some moist paper towels and they come right off next day.

I already try a vice grips an stand on it an pull, maybe 2 pair vice grips with one on each side of bottom of board

I well try moist paper towels as last resort, thanks, how moist should they be? Saturated with water?

Don't need to be over-saturated. Moist enough if you squeeze a handful of it some water comes out.

Thank u for advice

Sprinkle snow on both side then let it melt wait about and hour put board in vice grab nose with pliers and pull

Put it in the freezer for awhile.

Bang the head end on the floor. Harder!

I have no idea what freezing would do

Just do what beaverpeeler is telling you. It works.

Put in freezer like coop said and take it out tomorrow and remove from board if in a hurry split the board .

Damp cloth works, don’t over think about it.

Yup a warm damp towel works wonders, doesn’t take very long, then put bottom board in a vice and pull it off. Done it many times when I forgot belly board.

Let us know how you come out. It has happen to many of us 🤣🤣….. Marty
