The reaction thing... the caustic and the lard react and make the soapy goodness. But if you use it too early it stings.
I have some in the airing cupboard that's been curing since autumn. |

Vaseline all over the legs from toe to feathers once a week for three or four weeks.
You can dip the leg in surgical spirit as well, but I think it stings. The vaseline works just as well. |
