Drying time?

I have both fans and 1 beard drying right now. I've been pouring the salt to them like crazy! The jake has had about 2 weeks and the tom is about 1 week. When will I be able to mount them and hang them?

You should be able to tell by the looks of it.

You just have to make sure it is completely dried out, otherwise it will start to rot. I usually leave them well into the summer.

As soon as the fan holds its shape you can get it up on the wall.
It won't rot if you have all of the meat and grease removed. Put some borax on it Cc. this is a much effective preservative and will keep the bugs off as salt will not.
Let see some pics when it is done. :cheers:

Can I use borax after I've already used salt?

Borax is the best to use. you can still add it with salt on it. About four weeks and it will be dry enough to put on your plack.

mine are covered in Borax., i'm just nailing them on the wall in the garage. I figure a good 4 weeks covered in Borax and they should be rock hard. Within two weeks they hold good. It will all depend on how clean you got them. If there was any meat or fat left the borax will turn it rock hard.

There was a bit of meat and fat and skin left on.
