egg tanning

(1/6) > >>

mitchman:
is the process for egg tanning the same as with brains i was going to do brains today but eggs seem a little nicer to work with. any help quick would be nice. todays the day i have time to do it. ;D

DanaM:
As far as I know it is, do a search for "egg tan" its been discussed before.

Hillbilly:
Same process. Any kind of emulsifiable oils work-brains, eggs, a mixture of soap and pure neatsfoot oil, etc. I think brains work a bit better than eggs, maybe, but I've tanned one deer hide with eggs and it came out pretty good. Make sure you wet the hide, wring it out thoroughly, and stretch it good in all directions before you put it in the eggs so that it's opened up and will soak them up. You may have to apply them more than once to get complete saturation of the hide.

mitchman:
sweet thanks

ozark caveman:
All I ever do is egg tan. It works awesome. One dozen per hide. I can help you through the process if you need any help!
