Here is what I would do:
Wash the borax off.
Dry with a paper towel.
Roll it up and put it in a zip lock.
Store it in the freezer until you need it.

I shot a snake once.  I never used borax.  Just rolled it up and put it in the freezer.
When I was ready, I cut it down the center, and put it on my bow with TB2 or TB3.  Easy as that.

Do like gwhunter said, wash off the borax, dry, roll it and put in zip lock in the freezer.  When you're ready to use it soak it in water and then dry it with a paper towel.  I use titebond II.  Do a search for applying snakeskin.  It's not difficult.  If you need more detail email me at hunter13@cox.net
