Thread: Tanning, what do I do?

Iv tanned a Thar skin myself. Was with a mates brew, think it was pool alkali and tanning oil diluted with water. Just flesh the skin out, then put it in the solution for a few days until its soaked it through, stir every day. Take it out and tack it up to dry. Came out pretty good but hard as. Anyone have any tips on softening it up?
