[QUOTE="M.Magis, post: 1759060, member: 14175"] Preserving a skin that ends up a stiff board that may or may not deteriorate in the next 10 years is in no way the same thing as tanning a hide, turning it I to a soft piece of leather that will last a lifetime. One can be done by anyone with a bucket, the other MUST be done at a tannery unless you happen to have the time or equipment to break them until soft and pliable. I don’t know of anyone with either. Regardless, theres nothing wrong with trying preserve a skin with DA. But you aren’t tanning it and can lead someone down a disappointing path by suggesting they can easily make a cow skin rug with DA. Thats not what they’ll wnd up with. [/QUOTE]
