Does it not tell you when to degrease? If not then do so in the salt water bath.
degrease before you tan the hide. And despite what George would tell you you can use dawn it does work unless you want to dish out the money for a professional degreaser.
do i soak it in the salt water if so how long or do i just wash it with daun in the salt water and rinse out
can be found in the Breakthrough manuals available from WASCO.
before starting any new project for the first time, gather all the reference you will need, gather all the articles, tips, videos etc.. that you will need.
then start and go slow, learning is fun...
