Thanks Don.  I think I will just wash them.  I am getting flak from the wife that the materials are taking over the house.  I don't know what she is crying about after all she ties most of her own flys.  must be time to make a new quilt.   Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Ordes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 7:15 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] cleaning dried skins I've not tried it yet, but I've always wondered if that dry comb-in/brush-out shampoo would work. Just a thought.   Or else take it to the dry cleaner.  (I just sink-washed a silver pheasant skin and it came out fine.)   My 1.5 cents   DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Haering To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 4:29 PM Subject: [VFB] cleaning dried skins Hi I just received some dried genetic rooster pelts, minus the necks.  Does any one know how to remove the blood that is on the feathers without have to resort to a complete rehydration & soaking of the pelts?  One of them is a real nice dark cree.   Thanks Bob Haering [EMAIL PROTECTED]
