i am using Rittels ez 100
where can i buy sodium bicarbonate or sodium acetate
Return to Tanning Category Menu
Sodium Bicarbonate is also sold as "Baking Soda" in your local grocery. Sodium Acetate is an industrially used chemical and is available through us (Rittels) or some of the other Supply companies. I am not aware of it having a "trade name", other than simply "Sodium Acetate". It's an extremely mild Neutralizing or Basifying agent!

can u actually tan a fur with antifreeze

Once you remove it from the anti-freeze - most of it will evaporate - leaving very little residual in the fibers of the skins. Since it also doesnt chemically bond to these fibers - there is nothing to prevent it from becoming hard and brittle - just like a raw skin.

Everything you ever wanted to know about tanning. Not brain tanning.
where can i find a ph testing kit
Return to Tanning Category Menu
You will find that many of the major suppliers carry them. Such as WASCO, Van Dykes, etc.. If you are getting them for tanning I would reccommend the ones with range 1-6 as they are easier to read. The ones that range from 1-12 are sometimes hard to interpret.

But some pool testers obviously don't go down far enough to give you a reliable reading (Unless you routinely dissolve your pool party participants). pH paper is relatively inexpensive and all come with an applicable color match guide. If you pool meter goes down to 1, however, you're already set.
There are usually 2 types of PH type systems. One is for testing low ionic water - like a swimming pool where you have only very small amounts of chemicals added - and the other is for high ionic water. This applies to tanning solutions or mixtures where the higher dissolved chemicals create a high ion count. And as George pointed out - outside of the swimming pool range (6.0-7.5)usually those types of meters become very inaccurate. They arent intended for concentrations. Try to stick with the PH papers and meters intended for tanning - papers are reliable, and the meters, calibrated correctly can give you very accurate results.
