I'm tanning my first coon. I've been reading the archives and searching the net. My questions are: I scraped off the fat and salted the hide. It is now rock-hard. In the archives it talks of re-hydrating solution, pickling solution, and then the actual tanning. What is all this ? Also i recieved from a friend a tanning solution call Kan-Tan. It's old and i can't find any information about it on the net. Can tanning solution go bad ? ( it's a paint on tan ) Most of the directions have rubbed off the bottle. All i can read is it says to "paint onto wet salted hide" Can i skip the pickling and just re-hydrate and paint this stuff on ? Help i'm lost ?
