The wrinkles probly wouldn't hurt anything , would it?

It just looks like you care more about the fur you're presenting. Like missing tails on coons, a couple is no big deal, but if you showed up with 75% tailless coons the buyers would take a closer look at them to see what other corners you cut.

Yup, put it back on the board with a belly board and let it dry again.

As said above, reboard it.

That mink outa be dry by now

Not putting it back on the board was a mistake, all wrinkles , wonder if buyer well dock me for that

Resoak it till it becomes pliable, then put on the board with a belly wedge.

The poor mink, this is taking way too long........jk

I wonder if soak pelt twice would cause it to slip

This thread can't possibly be for real.

Still stuck? Go catch another one.

I sometimes wonder...

50 dollar mink having a tough day

Naw, it won't bother that mink to get rehydrated again. Your mistake was too over-do the original moisturizing.

And coming on here to ask if reboarding was really necessary. When in the same amount of time it could have been reboarded

I don’t know how you all do it………………….

I use a wedge and I always place it in the mouth end of the pelt. Since that's the part that dries first and becomes real tight. On coyotes i use 2 wedges one in both ends.

And I think most fur handlers leave the hide on the form too long.

For what mink are selling for now. Split the board and toss it. Save the mink. Buy new board.
