Raw frozen cape
« on: February 15, 2025, 07:54:57 AM »
I have a mule deer cape that’s been froze 5 years, thawed out it looks good except that the ears are kinda cardboard like. I’ve read it can be rehydrated with ammonia water or other method. Anyone with this experience that can verify?

I would probably try hydrating in a pickle, but I’ve been out of that game for quite some time.

Hides can pickle quite a bit with maintaining PH
