I have an elk hide that I have fleshed, removed the hair (I just want to make leather), pickled and have had it soaking in cold water (changed out every other day) for 2 months now. I have a gallon of NuTan on hand. Do I still have to salt this (no hair remember) or can I drain it and then use the NuTan solution on it?

@@buffaloman5042 It is best to remove the scales after the snakeskin has been tanned (it is firmer at this point) and before it is oiled (the oil will penetrate better). The direction booklet for the Tan-a-Snake kit shows how to remove them. It is just gently popping them off with the fleshing tool or scraping with steel wool with no soap. Go easy as to not remove the pigment.

@AdvancedTanningSolutions
@AdvancedTanningSolutions 4 месяца назад
You can, but that will still yield a raw skin and won't tan it. For a simpler process, try our NuTan. It is a liquid all-in-one tan with fewer steps. After fleshing, we recommend salting then rehydrating - you can follow the directions for NuTan from there.

If the hide is rolled up with the hair facing out, it is best to thaw it in 1 lb of salt per gallon of water. Open up the hide as it thaws.

@AdvancedTanningSolutions
@AdvancedTanningSolutions 6 месяцев назад
David, thank you for your comments. I am replying to all 3 here. First, this elk hide was heavily salted until there was no more moisture pulled out. Since we planned on tanning it right away, we did not completely dry salt it. Pickle Tan A-21 is very much a tan. It is a powder blend developed to be used as a pickle and tan in one bath. Yes, a new concept from traditional tanning. Our founder, Dale Knobloch, worked with commercial tanneries to test and fine tune this innovative product. Yes clearly, the hide is not as soft as it would be if it was tumbled in a commercial drum with wood shavings (one of these is on my wish list). However, this video is targeted for the DIY tanner, so breaking a hide in a tumbler is generally not an option. An elk especially, takes A LOT of elbow grease. Last comment, this hide was tanned 2 years ago and does not have any slippage. It was our son's first elk, so some of the areas you may be referring to could be from being dragged (in the high rugged Colorado terrain) prior to skinning/dressing. Since you do tanning and taxidermy, and would like to try Pickle Tan A-21, let me know.

@@AdvancedTanningSolutions I've used pickle tans before, I just never liked the quality of the finished product. I've tanned several elk with Lutan and had very little trouble breaking them, stretching as they dry and a soft, supple hide as a finished product. I had to remount all the animals I mounted with pickle tans because of the shrinking and cracking after a few years. I'm not trying to knock your product, I'm just saying there are better, easier ways to get a quality tan
@davidpalmer9740
@davidpalmer9740 6 месяцев назад
You aren't actually tanning the hide, just pickling it and neutralizing it. It will eventually fall apart or get hard as a rock because the hide isn't actually leather without using an actual tanning solution. A real tan is a much better way to go if you want a quality hide that will stand the test of time
@davidpalmer9740

@AdvancedTanningSolutions
@AdvancedTanningSolutions 6 месяцев назад
There are pros and cons to putting a hide in a frame - if you do, put it in after it has been tanned and oiled. It will dry flat, but you are unable to really work it. You can rub something coarse like sandpaper or a dull tool over the flesh side to help break it.

I followed the directions and the skin curled in and was a little crispy. What did I do wrong?
@AdvancedTanningSolutions
@AdvancedTanningSolutions 7 месяцев назад
It could be there wasn't enough oil on the skin and/or it dried too fast. You can rehydrate the skin in plain water just until it is relaxed (usually only 15-20 minutes), then drain until damp, lay out on plastic/saran wrap and re-oil. Start with the scale side up and depending on how think the skin is, let it soak in for 1-2 hours, then turn over and oil the flesh side (apply a little extra oil along the belly scale area). Let this soak in for 1-2 hours, then turn back over with scale side up and dry this way overnight. The next day, turn the skin over - still keeping it on the plastic and dry it flesh side up overnight. Try keeping the skin in a cooler area, so it dries slower. It is important to keep the skin on the plastic for the first 2 days so the oil isn't pulled out of the skin. Next day, remove the plastic and finish drying the skin on cardboard. You can call if you still have questions. Thank you.

For the rehydrating bath and pickling bath do you use iodized or non-iodized salt? Can you use canning & pickling salt?
@AdvancedTanningSolutions
@AdvancedTanningSolutions 7 месяцев назад
Good questions. There are different perceptions on using iodine vs. non-iodized salt in tanning. The concern has been that iodine may stain the hide/skin, however, there is so little amount of iodine in salt, that this insignificant amount will not cause any discoloration. Yes, table and canning/pickling salt are fine to use. The ones to avoid are rock salt - because the crystals are too large to break down, and any salt that has a high mineral content - such as feed store salt. The minerals added to salt can discolor the hide/skin.
