Polytranspar™ Degreaser is used for degreasing oily skins of fish, bird, mammals, and reptiles. It removes surface (adipose layer) fats, grease and other waterproofing oils that remain on the skin; allowing for better penetration of salts, pickling and tanning chemicals, as well as eliminating grease bleed-through problems in the finished mount. Works great for coldwater fish, waterfowl, and "fatty" mammals such as bears and raccoons.
Being a hydrocarbon, Polytranspar Degreaser has the ability to absorb moisture and remove oxygen from the skin. Because of this feature, and the slightly acidic pH, fish skins can be temporarily stored in the solvent for a period of several days. Polytranspar Degreaser is a high flash point solvent (high point of ignition) and is formulated to be a lower risk fire hazard. However, as with any combustible liquid, care must be taken to keep it away from excessive heat, sparks or open flame.
DIRECTIONS:
To use, simply fill a container with enough solution to cover the skin completely.
For Fish: Soak fish for two hours for average specimens or overnight for greasy fish or exceptionally large specimens.
For Waterfowl or Mammals: Allow the skin to soak in degreaser for 20 minutes to an hour.
After degreasing, specimens should be washed and rinsed in cool water. The clean solvent can then be poured back into an airtight container for storage, and it can be reused repeatedly with no ill effects. (After hundreds of fish, the degreaser will eventually become depleted.)
