Back from the tannery, what is a good "mix" & how long do I rehydrate? Thanks

.....Your tanner. Some recommend salt in the rehydration bath and some don't. Follow their instructions.
Tom, Old Fart is right-tanners use different processes and recomend different rehydrating methods but I would not soak the whole skin on any bear. Soak the head and feet till they are rehydrated then mop the rest of the skin with a dripping wet rag till it is wet all over. Now bag the whole skin and sweat over night in a refrigerator. Enjoy, Aaron H.
