I use Rittels Ultra Soft,soak it for 8hrs or until fully relaxed,then rinse well and pickle if you order it ask for instuctions works very well.
Jamie, Make a brine bath- 2 lbs salt per 1 gal water. Soak dried capes till they relax. Depends on hide thickness as to how long- some take a day or a little more. Enjoy, Aaron H.
