steve_b_wales Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 You can buy a tanning kit from Snowdonia Taxidermy Supplies. When mixed with water, it makes two gallons of water, which can be used a few times before disposing of it. I have done a few fox pelts, loads of fox tails, and quite a few rabbit skins. Very easy to do,too. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
