I see prices like $15.00/muskrat-mink (assuming they like my fleshing work if not add 3.00/hide in need) and I'm looking at over twenty hides so it is a few bucks. I found a pick of a beaver I tanned and hooped a few years et al.Well I did check with a co-worker who's father is a taxidermist and just ran a couple of online checks for prices. I found it months later and decided to finish the tanning and did so with good results, no slippage. I discovered this when a pail of foxes in a pickle solution got shoved under the bench in my fur shed and forgotten about. Saftee-Acid is one of the safest acids available today! It provides a wide range of acidity, with none of the disadvantages of other acids, such as, sulphuric/formic/acetic/oxalic! It is practically odorless, with no caustic fumes, non-poisonous, no dilution heat, non-evaporative, and is an excellent choice for pickling as well as adjusting PH levels! We have experimented considerably with this acid, and have found that using it has lived up to all our expectations! Since it is non-hazardous, it is safe to ship anywhere, and because of it's low dosage - it actually saves money!Īdditionally, I have found that you can hold furs in a Saftee Acid pickle for a long time with no ill-effects. One of the things I like about Rittle's is their Saftee Acid.
Might be a good late winter project and some great exercise too. Perhaps we can compare/share notes and our processes. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.Īnyone interested please join in. I obtained a very tough, stiff, leather but over twenty years later I still have one of those pelts on a staff I made. Acid tan using battery acid (I substituted swimming pool chemicals in place of the battery acid) My last go around I followed a method shown in an article in The Mother Earth News.
