Carefully scrape or cut \noff all meat and fat until skin is very clean. If applicable, skin out ears \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand paws, split tail. If skin has been dried, you should first soak in \nplain water, just long enough to soften. (For red or grey fox use salt \nwater, ½ lb. salt\/gal. at room temperature.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo tan hair-on: Salt the flesh side with TABLE SALT. Work PLENTY OF SALT \ninto entire hide including ears, paws, etc. Fold salted hide flesh on flesh, \nroll up and leave 24 hrs. Then scrape off old salt and repeat with clean \nsalt for another 24 hrs. Then scrape off salt again and go to Step 4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo tan hair-off: (e.g. buckskin) Immerse hide in plain water. NO SALT. \nChange water daily until hair loosens (usually 4-6 days of deer or elk). \nPull or scrape off hair is removed. Rinse well in clean water and go to Step \n4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepare a salt bath by mixing 1\\2 lb. of table salt per gal. of hot \nwater. (For hair-off tanning only, e.g. buckskin, add 1 capful of Clorox per \n5 gall. of salt bath). Mix salt bath thoroughly and let cool. Then Immerse \nhide 6-8 hrs. (except red or grey fox just 15 min.). Remove, rinse in cool \nwater and drain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing a sharp knife, thin skin as much as possible, removing any \nremaining membrane. A wire wheel can be used if skin is allowed to almost \ndry first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter skin is thinned, wash in warm water with liquid dish soap (e.g. \nDawn) to remove salt and grease. Very greasy skins such as raccoon, beaver \nand bear should be washed twice with dish soap to remove all grease. Then \nhang to drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm Hide Tanning Formula (HTG) by sitting bottle in pot of hot tap \nwater for 30 min. The skin should be at room temperature, semidry, but still \nmoist and flexible. Shake warm HTF well and apply an even layer to the flesh \nside. Apply with paint brush, or by hand wearing rubber gloves. Massage \nfirmly into all areas of the skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFold the skin flesh side unto itself and leave overnight (12-16 hours). \nIf it is a cased skin, just turn it fur out and hang at room temperature, \naway from direct heat. This will allow the fur to dry while the hide is \ntanning. After this 12-16 hr. tanning time, open the flesh side to the air \n(or if a cased pelt, turn the flesh side out again) and let dry slowly over \n2-3 days. As it dries, periodically pull and stretch the skin until it is \ncompletely dry and soft. If the skin is still stiff in a few spots, dampen \nthose areas with warm water, reapply warm HTF and repeat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOPTIONAL: When the skin is fully tanned and dry it can be thinned \nfurther with a wire wheel or coarse sandpaper if a higher degree of \nsuppleness is desired. Also, pulling the tanned hide back and forth over a \ntight rope works very well for softening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta content=\"en-us\" http-equiv=\"Content-Language\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\n\u003ctitle\u003eUntitled 1\u003c\/title\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n.auto-style8 {\ntext-align: center;\n}\n.auto-style9 {\ntext-align: center;\ncolor: #16BBDA;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"auto-style9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePCS Outdoors has many products and kits for great bargains like the one below!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"auto-style8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/str\/pcsoutdoors\/Fur-Handling-Supplies\/_i.html?_storecat=9716403014\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcsoutdoors.com\/images\/products\/detail\/ClickHereFurHandling.jpg\" width=\"600\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Trapper's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51462214385831,"sku":"252658043990","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/0339\/2167\/files\/s-l1600_d15779a5-09d3-4437-a796-49a2c866a0ab.jpg?v=1791140299","url":"https:\/\/craftecker.com\/products\/trappers-hide-fur-tanning-formula-8-oz-for-leather-fur-crafting","provider":"CrafTecker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
