Thanks for your replies. I just wondered because the taxi that I have been using does the wet tan. There is another one that does a dry tan. From what I can tell , both do great work. It does take awhile to get my mounts back. Sometimes almost 2 years for a whitetail. The other guy has always had my brothers ready in 6 months or less doing a dry tan. My taxi does all the work himself. He swears that a dry tan will start to turn yellow in the ears and also turn loose and not keep its form as good as a wet tan. I'm not sure if he's just trying to keep me as a customer or not. Like I said , He does great work but I would like to get a mount back quicker than 2 years. He also said that a wet tan takes 6 months to dry . Does this sound right?
