    I tanned fulltime for about 9 years and the (unofficial) rule of thumb for most tans is that if you've used it once you generally top the chemicals up by one half to use again. Unless you've maxed it out with a really big load. I used the Leders (Ledreiters in those days) for floor skins and Lutan F for headskins for mounts. I'm tanning a goat kid skin in Leders now and know that as it's a small, thin skin, I can do another kid skin without topping up chemicals. I don't think I'd be keen to re-use a tan after so long when a skin has been it prior though. I'd be inclined to start with a fresh batch of tanning solution for your skin.
