Default Hair Slippage!!!

I have a pelt that has a bit of hair slippage on the belly. Do you guys think it's worth shipping this one to Nafa

Yes, let them make the call. The hair on the back is the most important anyway....

It looks like you already cut part of the the belly out where the worst of it was and it probably looked worse before.

Not fleshed good enough or when fleshed the hair roots were cut, green belly, or mange might explain the fur slippage.

I trimmed around the edge. I do that with all my pelts just looks more neat that way. The slippage was caused by green belly. I had a couple coyotes that had green belly before just none of them had their hair slip.

I wipe down the leather on green bellies with hydrogen peroxide. It stops the decay and whitens the leather. It seems to work okay.
