Pickling crystals??

I'm sure there are plenty of veteran tanners/taxidermists who will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the pickling crystals are intended strictly for pickling.  At least, that is what is implied in the instructions.  After the hide is pickled and neutralized, the hide is treated with a separate tanning solution (Lutan or EZ-tan, for example).  If you're new to tanning (and no offense intended if you're an experienced tanner), an step-by-step overview of the general procedure can be found at www.amystaxidermy.com/tanning2.html

misanoel--- Again thank you for your time and help.  It seems like there are so many conflicting processes for the same product.  Again thank you, you have been a great help.

Wedor Chemical Company has citric acid, oxalyic acid crystals and anything else you will need at a far better price. Ox acid Crystals are pretty cheap when you order 50 lbs. as is citric.
