Tanning 

Thank you I have tried to search for info on here but yours has been the most informative video yet I truly appreciate you

You’re amazing my friend I have been watching your videos for long time man!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 I do really like the way you teach man you’re amazing!!!

Thanks David. Really appreciate all the tips.

Thank you! Can you please tell us what purple equals in ph value, 1.5 or 2.5?

Dave man you deserve more subs you do a good job and help a lot of people .

I also use riddles stuff and thinking of switching to McKenzie's stuff also thinking of using Pro1's stuff. Do you think the McKenzie stuff is better it seems to be all the same as far as the way you mix per gallon or whatever

Very educational! Video was nicely done with very close detail in this particular process. Thank you!

I had a hide in a pickle for way over 3 years and it tanned fine. No issues and it killed all the bugs and bacteria

Thanks for all the videos ! Real helpful !

do u do any thing to tan the hide after the pickle what oil do u use thanks for the video

I'm not getting into taxidermy, I've just got one bobcat I caught that I'm going to experiment with and try to make a rug to hang on my wall, can I use alum and salt for the pickle so I don't have to buy the Mckenzie safety acid? Thanks for any advice.

Hey Mr Dave nice video thanks for the info

I think a lot of starters Make their pickle really lite and throw a oversized cap in that’s soaking wet with regular tap water and the ph shoots up

dave im trying for first time and used mckenzie acid to pickle hide than i neutralized it drained tote and had to wait for a fleshing knife and didnt put tanning oil on it yet and hair started to slip as i was thinning skin is that because i waited to put tanning oil on it ? and how long do let it dry after neutralize it should i wait to put oil on it , im also trying to save the rest of hide for rugs any advise would be appreciated

Excellent Dave.

Love your video! Thanks for making it simple!

You see ... that's not tanning. This is pickling. You have to tan the skin in a tanning solution after you pickle it. A pickled hide, is NOT a tanned hide. When you oil a pickled hide, you have a pickled hide that has been oiled ... still not a tanned hide.

how long you mantaine the skin for first time in the tank with water ,salt, and pickel?

thank you for sharing

1 question. You say you can keep a deer hide in pickle for 3-6 months but the instructions on the bottle says 8hrs... Are you supposed to let the hide dry some before adding tanning solution or rite after pickle?

HELP ! Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it. I use citric acid bath, 3oz citric acid per gal. 1lb salt per gal. pH is at 2. On day two of the deer hide being in this solution the flesh side starts turning brown ruining the hide. Can anyone please tell me what the problem is. Thank You

great video would this work with a cougar or coyote

Also I heard you say you oiled before you put it onto the mount? I've heard to do that and some say skip it ? Oiling will help it stretch but just curious

what type of Tan do you use after the pickle?

For ur pickle just add alum to your mix that will stiffen all the goo up nice for a final flesh and as for the ph waste of time it's not an issue

Thank you sir. Good info
