I bought some starling skins for the first time for some soft hackles. When I opened the pack a substance that I can only describe as “dandruff” fell out, when you shake the pelt it falls off and you can see it on the feathers. The feathers seem fine but I am concerned about the “dandruff” I don’t think it is bugs as it is not moving, but I have never seen anything like this. Anything to be concerned about? Thanks,
borax to cure the skin maybe?
Agree Borax or something used to cure the skin…I got a partridge that way once…now most of my skins have it…cause that’s what I use 
no big deal i agree its the borax. i have a few skins that are like that. nothing to worry about
Thanks guys!
