I have never had a coon hide that had a little oil coming out of it, be downgraded. If I wiped all my coons off, I would not enough rags and I would never get done. It is a natural thing, unless you are leaving to much fat on your coons./

Just wipe it down every couple days. Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
