    Tahr Skin Tanning Problem Leder Tanning Kit

    Hi guys,

    First off hopefully this is the best subsection to post this on, let me know if I need to move it.


    So my first attempt of tanning with a leder tanning kit was a bit of a flop.

    I got it fairly well cleaned I thought but its come out looking pretty average. The white parts have come out like Suede Leather but the dark colour is like dried skin, all the hair is held in firmly and not falling out though.
    I think because I didn't move the skin around in the solution enough it hasn't had the tanning agent absorbed into the hide properly.
    I'm wondering if it's a write off or salvageable if I soak it to loosen it up and resoak in the solution again, since the hairs held and its not smelly i'll use it as a wall hung skin but would be nice if it was better than it is.
    Was a bit of a learning exercise regardless.

    Cheers,
    Andrew
