You can also use Neatsfoot oil.. Pour about three capfuls in about three gallons of warm water and soak the hide in it.
Its worked for me on several occasions

I disabled your links, they are not paying advertisers therefore links to their sites are not allowed,
this is a courtesy to the paying advertisers.
Slaughter:
Thanx Pete......How long do you soak it, and Do you just dry it after or do you still need to work the hide a little, a lot??

Sorry I wasn't trying to give a free plug to the above company. I have been doing taxidermy for a while and there are many ways to preserve hides but for the most part a good tan involes a few commerically made chemicals. Brush on's are good but soaks are better.
