Bear Fat/Rawhide dressing?

[Horse Guy]

Ive got about 30 pounds of bear fat here in a bucket. Was planning on makeing it into rawhide dressing for my horse gear.
Anyway I was a kid the last time I did this and I half forget how to make it.
What I was planning on doing was putting it in a roast pan at 250F until it separates. Then pour off the good stuff into metal cans to use as rawhide dressing. Is this correct?

I found this article this morning in case somebody else is interested in making their own. http://www.geocities.com/greg_diana/soappage3.html

Would you not just cook it off like pork fat or bacon drippings? Got a friend who uses bacon greese on his tires like armor all. He likes em black and shiny like his girlfriend. :lol: I like to give him you know what but he just laughs and says he don't couldn't expect anything less from a redneck soda-cracker. :lol:
