Step 16: Invert and moisten

Now that you've cleaned up the pelt, flip it back right-side-out and make sure all of the bits look right.

Run a moistened finger around the inside of the pelt against the skin to keep it moist for further handling. If it gets too dry you'll have a hard time getting it around your voodoo doll properly, and may lose some fur. The more frequently you skin mice the faster it'll be, and the less you'll need to re-moisten the skin.
