[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1758885, member: 42731"] So, the drying process. If you have a really shady property the pallet construction comes in handy because you can move it, same for if it rains. I use my garage to stow it if it rains, you can use your house if you want, it's your marriage. Drying is done, you can proceed three ways, you can brain tan, egg yolk tan, or denatured alcohol tan. I don't like to use brain tanning, so I won't comment on it. For the egg yolks, you can apply a liberal layer of egg YOLKS on the hide, laid flat, and cover in damp, not wet towels. Depending on hide size and skin thickness, this may take multiple cycles. For denatured alcohol, get a drum or tub of appropriate size. You need a 1-1 mixture of denatured alcohol and water. Soak for 24-36 hours and check, sometimes depending on hide you will repeat this a few times. More in next message. [/QUOTE]
