First, tell your wife she does not need to be pi$$ed. Just get some SOFT SCRUB Orange cleaner and it will come off. (I use the same cure (I cured eggs last night too).

The first thing I do after removing the skeins is get those blood vessels out as best I can, even if that means losing a small strip of skein and a few eggs. Some guys squeeze the blood out, but for me it is easier to just carefully snip out the veins with my fillet knife.

This time, I am letting mine sit for long enough to re-absorb the juices that come out during the curing process. Then, they will dry to just the right texture and off to the fridge/freezer they go. Think I'll take 1/2 of these (2 hends worth) and roll them in the Pro Glo Pink after drying and before putting up.

I'll post a pic when done.
