Salted Skins


Salted Skins-Can you tell me why fur dealers do not want fur hides salted, say, salted slightly, and if any, what detriment it is to them?

The salt dries the skin and hardens it, making it brittle and likely to crack. Its action on the skin is not neutralized, as in the tanning processes by other chemicals. Even a little salt changes the skin, absorbing the moisture and changing the chemical constituents of the hide. The best way to preserve fur skins-salt is simply to prevent decay-is to clean the skins carefully and stretch on frames or boards, and hang them in a cool, dry, sheltered place where rodents and insects cannot get them. Of course, pelts should not be left too long on stretchers-a few days-and too much care cannot be taken of them.
