Travis,did you continue to salt the cape as it dried?If you want the hide for a wall hanging,I would make up a pickle solution and then go on to tan the piece instead of using d.p. If you want the hide soft,you will never attain that by using d.p.Tanning a piece is not difficult,but you do have to follow directions.Rittels and Knoblochs have excellant tanning products and if you call either one ,they can guide you through the tanning process,hope this helps-John W.
