Benthejockey Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Has anyone got any recipe for tanning solution. I've used both the Ktan and the white tan from snowdonia taxidermy to good effect but I think it would be cheaper to buy the chemicals separately and make my own solution. I don't know what chemicals and in what quantities! Please no chuck it in a bucket of diesel and dog widdle for 3 days recipes and no brain tanning, the brains are long gone with the heads! I've got 3 deer hides and 2 fox skins I want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've always found that the White Tan, which you've used before, is about the best for fox pelts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Personally I wouldn't go to the trouble for a few pennies. The white tan and K tan have always produced for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Times are hard Nev 😂 and I'm tight. They do a product called neosyn which is a white tan solution but I've emailed to see if it's an all in one process or if it'll need a separate pickle and neutralisation process. If it doesn't its half the price of the white tan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
