Hello Fellas,

Thanks to Dennis and John I was able to save my Cheetah skin!! Thanks so much to you both.

I bought industrial grade contact cement and heavy duty black felt and glued the skin CAREFULLY to the felt. It was tough going, since after the water rinsing, the skin was dry, wrinkeled, and brittle as hell. I applied the glue, attached it to the felt and finally but a sheet of plywood on top and weighted the whole thing down with barbell weights.

I have to say that it came out pretty nice!

I will definetly ask for advice FIRST the next time!

The skin stinks of a chemical smell, but hopefully it will fade.

Thanks Again!

Frank

Glad you made the save Frank

Hey Frank,

That is terrific news! I've been wondering about how this would turn out for you. Needless to say I am pleased as all get out that you were able to save such a unique skin! Congratulations!

Anytime I can be of further help, please don't hesitate to write or call.

John.

I'm glad it worked out.

.....and the photo??

John,
I can tell you that this will be my last attempt at "Taxidermy"!!

Lucky for you guys here or my skin would be in the garbage....that would have killed me.

Bob, I am an idiot with computers...I can't seem to figure out how to post pic's, and I have some great stuff to post!!
