I spoke to a gentleman in the cabela's outlet mall in Owatana MN while shopping we talked about tanneries and he told me of a tannery which produced a synthetic tan which had great strech and long shelf life. He said he did taxidermy work for a museum in Wisconsin and said that I should send some of my hides to the tannery which he employs. Believe it or not I forgot the name of the tannery and which state it was located in. Any hints or sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom

Hey man, my memory is bad too. I carry a notebook all the time, just for situations like that.
There are 2 Tanneries out there - 1 in WI and the other in MI - and both use Rittels EZ-100 tanning agent. It's a Syntan well known for its longevity (long shelf life), washability, stretchiness and softness.
In WI you can contact Champion Tannery in Bloomington WI at: (608) 994-3157
In MI you can contact K & K Tannery in Osseo MI at: (517) 523-3196
Both Tanneries are well known for their quality workmanship.
