[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1759023, member: 14175"] No they aren't. None are. Now, some people use them and CALL them tanning solutions, but they in no way turn skin into leather. The DA can preserve thin skins, but over time they can, and often do, break down. The glycerin doesn't even offer any preservation, its a throwback to when people thought you could "tan" snake skins with it. To turn a thick piece of skin such as from a cow into leather takes a tanning solution that can penetrate the skin and change the cell structure. And that's after a few other steps to get the cells ready to be tanned. [/QUOTE]
