maddog314:
I have a deer hide that I just put ash paste on and I am woundering how long to leave this mix on and if I just salt it can I brain( egg) tan it after this ? thanks
Micah

Pat B:
Leave it in the ash paste until the hair begins to slip. You should check it every day anyway. I don't think you want to salt it if you plan to brain(egg) tan it. I've never done one so I'm just guessing here!  ;D

Thanks Pat B

Hillbilly:
You can still braintan after salting with no problems,  you just have to rinse all the salt out really well.

Pappy:
We never do anything to ours but flesh ,roll up and put in the freezer if we can't rack it right away,never tried making the hair slip,but I would suggest doing as Pat said,cause when it slips it is real close to spoiling. :)
