If you were to reuse the solution, you may want to check the PH level because the hide will change the PH of the solution. I now keep a small pack of 100 PH strips so I can check the PH of the solution and try to get it to 2. to 2.5 range. The hide will raise this number on it's own so you will most likely need to add more vinegar once the hide has soaked in the pickle solution.
Amazing resources, it will be helpful for us, thanks
ReplyDeleteLet me know how your attempts at it turn out
DeleteGood guidance. I bought expensive deer tan will get baby mineral oil. Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteThanks, all in all this process was pretty easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteNot sure it's fully dry yet as the hair still pulls out easily.
Drying can take some time but not to long depending on humidity, location, etc. Hopefully it dries up and you can work it to a soft pliable hide.
DeleteCan you reuse the pickling solution or the solution to neutralize up to a certain duration
