A tanning question

<< < (2/2)

WhistlingBadger:
Anyway, thanks for the input, guys.  I'll try sprinkling it with some soda, give it a good rinse, and call it good.

The hide has some stains on it from leaves on the lawn and from the ashes, so I think I'm going to try a bark tan instead of brain tan.  So maybe the excess acid doesn't matter that much.

Yooper Bowyer:
It's probably too late for that hide, but I remember reading something in the appendix of that book about using light acid before the brains to help the hide come out even softer.  I did that one the one hide I brain-tanned and it actually came out pretty good, surprisingly good for a rookie.
