Ya learning my mistakes. Gonna get better at it thanks to all the help from you guys. I expect the next hide to come out well when ever I get one.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Just checked the yote hides and now that the ears are pretty much all dry they do not slip a bit. I was surprised that they came back. No rot or anything.

 :tup:  Alcohol is my friend!!!!! Isopropel rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol does wonders to halt bacteria and help set hair. squirt some on as soon as you can, on outside & inside when turning ears, salt heavily. Also aluminum sulfate & water pickle can help set hair. The other thing i've done is brushed commercial tanning liquid such as Mc kenzie,Heads west, rinehart, liqua-tan on skin side if ears, nose pad,eyes,lips etc.... after salting before hide dries for storage, keeps shrinkage under control too! Hair slippage can be a nightmare especially on clients work. Hope this helps. Red Leaf

something I forgot to mention,with fox, coyotes,cats etc... I try to submerge them only as long as I have to. When the washing,acid pickle, degreasing, tan bath is accomplished and nuetralized I gently use a towel to remove wetness(spin cycle in washer works, wife won't like it!) >:(  Then I use a hair dryer or compressed air especially on ears & face so bacteria won't cause problems. Nice & dry , I see others addressed that.  I have had great luck using Para tan, a Knobloch product, and EZ 100 a syn tan from Dan Rinehart ( a Ritell product) instructions are included with product. Also ph strips are helpful, other supplies needed are salt, citric acid for pickle( vinegar or lemon juice also work, dawn dish soap for degreasing, and baking soda to nuetralize pickle & tanning acid. Not as complicated as it sounds the ph strips really help. Good luck, & keep tanning, the first hides I tanned were woodchucks & muskrats. It wil get better with practice,  A rotary rasp chucked in a drill, coarse sand paper, & a cup brush in a drill help at the softening/oiling stage.    Red Leaf
