How to Salt a hide

In this video I walk through the proper process of salting a hide for taxidermy and tanning preparation. Correct salting is one of the most important steps to preserving a hide and preventing hair slip or spoilage before it goes to the tannery. I cover how to properly flesh the hide, the type of salt to use, how much to apply, and how long the hide should stay salted to pull out moisture effectively. Whether you’re a beginner learning taxidermy or looking to improve your hide preparation, these methods help ensure a clean, well-preserved skin ready for tanning.
