Rittel's makes tanning formulas specifically for lighter furbearers, apparently they use it to teach kids how to tan. It's called Trapline Tanner or something like that. |

Just tanned my first pelt with the orange bottle. Used half a bottle on a small coyote sized pelt. Leather is white and soft after wadding it up in my hands a bit. I cut a piece of the leather and it is white all the way through. Looks good to me. I did the salt / pickle / neutralize steps first, then applied the tanning solution per instructions on the bottle. Now looking for a pattern for a fur hat. |

No need to break it - it was soft . |
