Advice for a first timer? Rabbit hides
Hey Folks,
I could use some advice about these hides I just tacked up yesterday. This was my first time processing meat rabbits so I followed Sage Smoke Survivals videos on the butchering and hide tanning but I guess I screwed up and didnt properly flesh the hides. I removed all the fat and meat left on the hides but I didnt fully remove the pink outer membrane which I see now should have also come off.
This morning I use scotch brite to break up that pink membrane to allow the oil and moisture to escape but I am not sure what else to do. Are these savable? They all looked mostly good except two that had small tender areas of skin. I adjusted my fan and put out a dehumidifier to hopefully help the drying process. It hasnt even been 24 hours so I am still hopeful they will dry. Any advice would be appreciated.
