| Component | Description |
|---|---|

| Leder Leather Lube (500ml) | An essential conditioning agent, this leather lube is applied after the tanning process. It ensures optimal softness, flexibility, and longevity for your newly tanned leather, contributing to a superior finish. |
| Leder Utility Tanning Knife | Specifically designed for preparing skins, this robust utility knife is crucial for the fleshing process.

This dedicated fleshing tool enhances the overall quality of your tanned hides. |
For successful hide tanning and to achieve the best results with your Leder Utility Tanning Kit, follow these simple instructions carefully:
- Salting the Skin: Immediately after skinning, thoroughly salt the hide to begin the preservation process. This is a critical first step for effective tanning and helps draw out moisture.
- Timely Tanning: For optimal results, aim to tan the skin within one month of salting. This ensures the best condition for the tanning process.
- Mixing the Solution: Mix the Leder Tanning Formula with water in a suitable container to create your leather tanning solution. Always follow the specific ratios provided in the kit's detailed instructions for the best outcome.
- Soaking the Skins: Submerge the salted skins in the tanning solution for 3 to 10 days. The exact duration will depend on the skin's thickness and type, so monitor the process closely.
- Washing and Lubing: Once the tanning process is complete, thoroughly wash the skin. Then, apply the Leder Leather Lube generously with a soft brush before pegging the hide out to dry. This step is vital for ensuring a soft, pliable, and flexible finish.
When handling the tanning formula and during the tanning process, it is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection (goggles), to avoid direct contact with the tanning solution and ensure a safe working environment.
