Hey Reed... I learned by videos and books so you are on the right path. They can give you a lot better instructions than I. One things with ducks, as you probably know, is they are very greasy and required a great deal of effort cleaning the skin. A wire wheel mounted on a drill can be helpful but you have to be REALLY careful or it will tear the skin. They will go over degreasing the duck in your video and it will help tremendously. Good luck! |
