Guys I got a roadside skunk. I AM NEW TO ALL OF THIS. I made several mistakes getting it home, the car and the freezer and some clothes might have to go. I washed the entire skunk in some soapy water, wiped it down and put it in the freezer wet.

For my next step, can I thaw this, wash it with isopropyl alcohol + dish soap + baking soda, skin and stretch it in one go?

Hi, I got a roadside beaver and scraped it and tacked it to a board to dry. I didn't know about salting and started the egg yolks emulsion on it. However I also realized I never washed the fur and this has road dirt and some mats in it. The skin side was still a bit oily when I started the egg yolks.

Can I wash this with some dish soap, retack it to a board, and salt it? And then try the egg yolk mixture again? The neighbor who showed me how to scrape it does not know the rest of the process.
