• Immediate Skin Preparation: Begin the preservation process by thoroughly salting the entire flesh side of the hide immediately after skinning. This vital first step effectively draws out moisture and prevents decay, setting the foundation for optimal tanning.
• Timely Tanning Initiation: For the finest possible outcome and to maintain the hide's prime condition, it is recommended to start the tanning process within one month of salting. This timeframe allows for maximum absorption of the tanning solution, contributing to a superior finished product.
• Accurate Solution Mixing: In a suitable, non-reactive container, carefully combine the entire 500ml bottle of Leder Tanning Formula with the specified volume of water. Always refer to the detailed instructions provided with the kit for precise ratios, ensuring an effective and evenly distributed tanning solution.
• Effective Skin Soaking: Fully submerge the prepared and salted skins in the tanning solution. The soaking period typically ranges from 3 to 10 days, with the exact duration depending on the skin's thickness and type. Monitor the process closely to ensure the solution completely saturates the hide for a thorough tan.
• Final Conditioning & Drying: After tanning, thoroughly wash the skin with clean water to remove any residual solution. Generously and evenly apply the Leder Leather Lube to the flesh side of the skin using a soft brush. This crucial step conditions 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 to maintain suppleness.
• Safety Recommendations: When handling the tanning formula and throughout any stage of the tanning process, it is strongly recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection (goggles). This helps to prevent direct skin or eye contact with the tanning solution and ensures a safe working environment. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
