had a couple of shoulder mounts i had to get out (my skins) so i did what i normally do and threw them in krowtann - i had time 36 hrs later to mount them - i knew this was a little iffy ON TIME IN KT)especially since i tumble for an hour b4 mounting) - tried just one and found it was uniformly tanned and shaved perfectly - the moral of the story is: it takes 36 hrs to do a coyote ( porblably any small mammal) - this STUfff IS MAGIC

Is there somewhere to get additional information on how much to use for different animals? I got a paper with my Krowtann but it only lists bobcats, deer, and large game. I have two coons and a woodchuck to do and was wondering how much to use.


misunderstodd directions...

you are not understanding the directions - they are only meant to give you ratios and guesstimates for different animals - if you will do some grade school math you will see that the kt to water to salt ratios are ALL THE SAME - just mix up enough to cover the animal and then adjust the salt and kt to BE THE CORRECT RATIO for that amount of water - to neutralize you always use 1 1/2 oz of soda per gallon - i dont add it at three times - just dump it all in at once and leave for 30 minutes - hope this helps - i haven't had any problems since the beginning

is to mix 1.5 oz sodium bicarbonate per gall. of water (if you use baking soda you'll need to mix 3 oz to a gall. water) make as much as needed to submerge the hide it will need to be in this mixture for a TOTAL of 20 min. No mater if you mix all at once or seperate adding the sodium bicarbonate every 5 min. If you want to ask us anything about useing our tann.just call us 1-800-467-0369
