Ratsmasher 36 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 when you take them off the squirrel just cut the skin around the base of the tail taking care not to damage the bone you should then be able to slide the skin of the tail off the bone, then whack it in some meths for a couple of weeks making sure you get it inside the tail as well as the rest of it. after that take it out and wash it with a bit of wash and go or something Job done atb Ratty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fcuktheban 140 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Depends on if you want the skin flexible or not. Meths is the way to do it to keep it supple but if it doesn't matter peel it off the bone and funnel salt into the sheath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
