rover brewer:
thanks to all I also found that I need to soak it a mixture of aluminum sulfate and salt and water.

Pappy:
Maybe,don't know about that  :o I soak rawhide in brains or egg and then stretch until it is dry to make it soft and leather,little more to it than that but thats all mine is soaked in.Good luck,let us know how it turns out. :)

Pappy:
