[NHCOLL-L:4427] Taxidermy Question

[Karen Lloyd]

 Dear all,

I have a question concerning a taxidermied large mammal.  The piece has been
purchased for a museum that I am contracting with and as I understand it the
piece came directly from a taxidermist.  The specimen appears to have some
sort of oily coating on it that comes off to the touch and makes the fur
feel like greasy , unwashed hair! Any ideas to what this could be and ideas
to how best to remove the coating?

Thanks,

Karen Lloyd
