Oh ma gaaaad, it took me SO long to dry out the hide on this final step!
So. Lessons learnt ~
- Once washed, leave to dry a lot longer than just half one cold wintery day before applying the formula! It was still relatively saturated when applied and therefore took weeks to dry fully when it should have been days!
- Have somewhere ready for it to go whilst drying (do you like our makeshift drying rack on the ceiling of the shed? 😅)
- I guess don't worry too much about weird spots? I thought those in pic five would end up mouldy but they were completely fine!
- Definitely don't forget to stretch it. Mine has ended up a little like cardboard but I don't mind too much as it's only going up on the wall.
- Keep an eye on any dogs wanting a nibble...
This deer was a completely spontaneous venture, I'll definitely properly document the next one now I have a proper phone & ever so slightly know more what I'm doing now! Haha. All a learning curve eh. This week's tasks is clean up some more skeletons and if anyone's interested in some simple plain bone necklaces/keyrings I'll post some here soon at a discounted price 🖤
