USING STOP-ROT IN FISH TAXIDERMY  Fish taxidermy tips with Dan Jennings.

STOP-ROT ON WILD TURKEY AND OTHER BIRDS with Dan Jennings.  "Until I started using STOP-ROT, I never realized how quickly wild turkies were decomposing on me before I could get them mounted.  STOP-ROT helps to produce a really clean bird with a lot of sheen, and since I've been using STOP-ROT on turkey legs and feet, I haven't had the first one with that funky turkey foot odor."

STOP-ROT ON FREEZER BURN  May of 2003, Mike Baker of Raw Liver Creek Taxidermy called me up and asked, "Hey, have you got anything for freezer burn? I got a mule deer cape out of Montana and it is BAD!"
Cape in freezer since 1984, still good? Check out the story!
