Amy , thank you so much for making this tutorial.  It gave me the courage to try it before going to school!
I have my 2 skins (mink & squirrel both roadkill) in the pickle now.  I printed out your instructions and have them right nearby.
Thanks so much!  Cheesy

I live in a country where taxidermy is not a very mainstream hobby, so I can't go to any stores that sell stuff to tan and pickle the skins. Are there other common household items, like the salt and baking soda, that I could use for the tanning and pickeling process?

If you have a health food store or Amish or Mennonite family store around you may be able to get the citric acid powder for citric acid pickle.  I live in the country too and found a little Mennonite store with the citric acid.  Find a grain elevator or feed store to get non-iodized salt in a 50 lb. bag for about $6- sometimes it's also called feed mixing salt or something like that.

I have 2 Tule elk hides and 3 Blacktail hides with hair all on but 95% of the flesh removed and the hides are like cardboard. Is this the same formula? It doesn't seem to be any slippage.
Thanks
Pat
