How to process sinew from a goat

(1/3) > >>

Ishi1234:
Hello again, and my question implies that I do poses some sinew! My friends dad just culled a male goat and he let me have some sinew from the goat. But the only thing is how do I process it? From getting all of the bacteria out of it to it being able to be used on arrows and the like.

bisonboy78:
The one process I like to use for any sinew is put it in a zip lock bag. Once in the bag, place some of your urine in it. I then carefully, very carefully try to get as much air out as possible and seal it. I will leave it outside for not only the smell that will come but any leaks that may occur. I'll leave it in the zip lock for 4 or more days, depends on when I can get to it. After I'm satisfied or have time I'll clean then off with water, make sure you clean them good because later on you won't like the taste. Once they're cleaned individually I'll place them flat on a piece of wood in the shade and let them dry. Doesn't take long to dry, just a day. Then from there its up to you. Just remember, this is how I process it, plenty of other ways, this is just one option for you.

PEARL DRUMS:
Urine does what?


I scrape any fat and meat away from the sinew. Lay it out somewhere critters cant get to it and let it dry. A few days in the sun or breeze will usually do it.

bisonboy78:
it suppose to break down the any fat and help kill the bacteria. Just something I've always done and it's worked for me.

Ishi1234:
Instead of urine couldn't hydrogen peroxide be used to kill off bacteria?
