keekeerun:
Thanks twistedlimbs. very nice work!
cowboy:
That's cool Ryan - something I have yet to attempt and thank you for your time. I have a load of deer and some road kill furs in the freezer I need to work down :).
huntertrapper:
so... just eggs and water will tan 'er?
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
wel the eggs and water is just an oil that will help yo soften the skin. you could just rub borax or dry preservative in the skin and it would still be tanable but it would take a lot more elbow grease to get it done. eggs or brains just lessens the work needed to break down the fibers so they are flexable. knowing this, im sure if you rubbed, some sorta moisturizing cream into it, that would work aswell, but i havent tried it, i'll stick with eggs. you have to kinda force skin to rot, so if you take care of it in the crucial first couple days until the moisture is out of it, it should last a long time
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
oops just to clear any confusion, you dont want the skin to rot, i was saying that skin is naturaly resiliant and resistant to rot when i said "you kinda have to force skin to rot" got it?..lol
