Tanned goat hides skin#

EZtan is a WASHABLE tan (making it great for garment use).Tanning agents are very sensitive, and you should always check the pH before putting the skin into the tanning solution. The skins are white-leathered, durable, soft, and stretchy, and there is little shrinkage. Do not leave it in for longer than 20 minutes, or you may not get as much stretch out of them once they are tanned! After neutralizing, rinse it and allow to drain.ĮZ-Tan, in my opinion, is one of the best tanning agents you can buy.

Put the skins into the mixture and stir the skin in the mixture for 20 minutes. For every gallon of water needed to submerge the skin, add 1 tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). While it drains, mix up a neutralizing bath. When you are ready to tan, remove the skin from the pickle and let it drain for 30 minutes or so. You can tell it is completely pickled when the skin is a milky white color all the way through, with no pink color. The time it takes to thoroughly pickle the skin will vary depending on the thickness of the skin. If it is too low, add more water and salt or a little baking soda diluted in water.

Then use SAFETEE ACID, be shure that you watch the ph. The next day remove the salt and rinse in a relaxing agent. Salt the hide and set it aside over night where it can drain. Then split down the front legs and neck working the hide loose with your fingers. You will need to get all of the flesh, fat etc off of the hide.The best way to skin to keep most of the flesh off is to start at the chest area between the front legs and work up.
