I have tried to do a rabbit pelt before and well kind of failed on the ears :\... I just got another rabbit, and well im going to TRY to do the full body pelt again + head with ears. SOOO im trying to find a video or something that shows me HOW to turn the rabbit ears. I find deer vids but not small animal such as rabbit
.
Can some one help me out on that? also im useing the Van Dyke's Lutan F Kit, and i read after i put the last part on the hide as in the Oil part, that after 8 hours of it soaking in i can go ahead and put it on a mount, is this true? Or do i need to let it fully dry?
ALSO question, should i buy the ear turners off of Van Dyke's site? or would they be to big for rabbit ears?
Some one told me to just use a bent coat hanger and put salt water up in the ear while pushing the hanger.
One last question, I know i have done rabbits before but i have only used a knife to flesh them and well i want to know if this would be easier for me?

OR should i just use a small hand razor blade?
I think thats about it, my last rabbit i kind of messed up a little so i want to do this one way better and even put a head mount with it IF i can do it right this time....
