This is a question. for Mr. Rittle.
I am wanting to do another rug, but i want this one to be more supple. Can I use your kwik-n-eze tanning cream to apply after I salt wash flesh and tumble? Do I need todo more steps. or can I apply it in the manner as mentioned? Will it be what I am looking for as far as a soft and stretchy ,flexible. type rug ? Thats what I am shooting for. Will this work? thanks for any reply and info. Ray

But Bruce is going to tell you that it's not the TAN that makes a hide soft, it's the breaking that makes it soft. That along with the oil. That's exactly why I keep harping on having hides done by professional tanners that have the equipment to make your hides soft and supple.

Hey there George. I just got back. Actually I took my hide over this evening to keystone fur dressing to have it done, They Know Mr. Rittle very well and give me the speal. Thooo. I wanted to know a bit more about the kwik_n_eze cream tan, they didnt answer that question for me. I am very much a hands on type of guy which is why I wanted to know if the methoud could be used for rug use in the manner i suggested?
Oh by the way.

Belive it or not - I have relatives that spell it any one of the above ways - and yes - we are all blood related. So consequently I answer to any of them! I have no problems with it. Please guys - Don't worry about the spelling!

However - as to your question about using KWIK-N-EZE to do a rug. Yes you can expect a very nice rug - but I would recommend that you apply additional oil after applying the tanning cream and letting it sweat in for 3-4 hours. Then apply the additional coat of oil - again, let it sweat in and then hang it to dry.

PS - However - dont spell it as "Piddle"! LOL!

Paint-on tans have oil in them - enough for Taxidermy purposes - but if you are tanning flat trophy skins or rugs - then its essential to apply additional oil.

The additional oil will help
