Efficiently processing up to 6 kilograms of wet skins, this Leder tanning kit offers a superior leather tanning solution for creating lasting keepsakes or practical leather goods.

• Skin Preparation: Immediately after skinning, thoroughly salt the entire flesh side of the hide. This critical first step begins the preservation process by drawing out moisture and preventing decay, preparing the skin for effective tanning.
• Optimal Tanning Time: For the best possible outcome, aim to begin the tanning process within one month of salting the skin. This ensures the hide remains in prime condition for absorbing the tanning solution and achieving a high-quality finish.
• Solution Mixing: In a suitable, non-reactive container, carefully mix the entire 500ml bottle of Leder Tanning Formula with the recommended amount of water. Always refer to the specific ratios provided in the kit's detailed instructions to create a potent leather tanning solution. Proper mixing is key to an even and effective tan.
• Skin Soaking: Submerge the prepared and salted skins completely in the tanning solution. The soaking duration typically ranges from 3 to 10 days. The exact time will depend on the skin's thickness and type; thinner skins may require less time, while thicker hides will need longer. Monitor the process closely to ensure the solution fully penetrates the hide.
• Washing and Finishing: Once the tanning process is complete, thoroughly wash the skin with clean water to remove any residual tanning solution. After washing, apply the Leder Leather Lube generously and evenly to the flesh side of the skin using a soft brush. This step is vital for conditioning the leather, ensuring it dries soft, pliable, and flexible. Finally, peg the hide out to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, stretching it periodically as it dries to maintain suppleness.
• Safety Recommendation: When handling the tanning formula and during any stage of the tanning process, it is strongly recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection (goggles), to avoid direct skin or eye contact with the tanning solution and ensure a safe working environment. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
