Cool

Krispy, no need for the fridge. If there is a good Jewish delicatesen of market near you, go in and get a pound of Kosher pickling salt. It has a grainier and more flaky consistency than regular salt. Get your skins and then get a small rubbermaid container thats roughly six inches long by 1-1/2 deep by 4 inches wide. Put in the salt an very slowly drip some lukewarm water into it. You want the salt damp not wet. A good test is when you can poke your finger in all the way to the bottom and the hole does not collapse and no water forms at the bottom of the hole. Then just fold your skins in ( if un-rigged) and cover them. You are all set and every once in a while drip a few more drops of water in but maintain that consistency. If you are going to store complete rigs in it make sure the hooks are stainless otherwise the salt will eat them up and turn the salt orange from the rust and stain your skins. You can keep them all season in your vehicle like that, I have for years. Hope that helps, Flap.
