Material smells

[ragincajun]

So the room where I tie has an odor from the feathers and furs. What do you do? I have them double ziplocked but that only helps a tad bit.

What kind of odor are we talkin about here? My materials don't smell, except for a hint of moth crystal smell. You could have some materials that were incorrectly preserved.

Its not a rancid smell. Just a slight odor, but you can deifinitly smell it.

ragin is it sort of a wet dog smell???

[ragincajun]

I guess you could say that. It smells natural but wondering maybe store in cedar cigar boxes would help?

If you are using a swamp cooler instead of Refrigerated air in your house with salted Deer-Hide or bird skins, the moist air will soften and ralax a salted skin and will start gettin smelly and if in zip lock bags that are slightly opened or out of the bag.....
I just REsalt em really good or Borax will or should do the trick.....does for me anyway.
I have noticed that some Squirrel Tails if not dried good will get real bad smelly
