how long should i be letting my cream tan sit before I flesh the finish product. I have been leaving it set over night, was wondering if that was to long.

I use the cream tan from Rhineharts. All alone with no pickle.
ive got some on order right now
to give it a try
but its all in the archives FF
i believe its a few hours 6 or so
then you can mount or throw it in the freezer
cant wait till mine comes in
i know George loves the stuff
like i said though its all in the archives if you need more info
good luck and let me know how it turned out

I have used this cream for 20 years with no problems Salt your hide and dry it hard
Then i freeze it untill im ready to tan it. It will keep for years
Then i soak it up in cold water and salt for about 21/2 hours
Then i wash it with dawn liquid soap and rinse
Then i soak it in protex presoak for 20 min and spin dry in a washing machine
Then i brush on the cream and cover the hides with a cloth for 6 hours
Then i dust in a sawdust drum to untill the hair is dry
flesh the cape on a machine and do the face with a skiving knife
Then you can mount it or freeze it
