DCM/methylene chloride/dichloromethane/paint stripper (different names for same shoot) works really well. It's the main ingredient in commercial carbon cleaner as well. In college I used it for experiments on solid hydrocarbons (soot molecules) to dissolve them. Works like a charm.
It penetrates nitrile gloves in several seconds so be careful and take them off immediately for a fresh pair if it splatters on you.
Hi there, new to forum but had a question. Anyone ever get coyote/bobcat hides tanned around here? I've got a frozen coyote hide from up north that I thought was worth keeping, was looking to get it tanned and either hung up on the wall or sewn into my favorite coat . Not a rug with the face done up, just a fur tan. It's not fleshed or anything but I tube skinned it pretty well, not much damage besides a pinhole.
Thanks in advance!
