Salicylic or Glycolic Acids

Submitted by 9 on 5/29/06 at 3:37 AM. ( ) 216.144.58.69

Now this is not about "sun tanning" or humans at all. What I am wondering is - can glycolic or salicylic acid be used as a pickle? Either paint-on or immersion. Because it is used as a pickle on living skin, and it works really well, if used in conjunction with podophyllin. I am wondering if it also pickles non-living skin well. I don't have any pelts to try it on (out of stock!), so I am asking. Anyone tried this before?

A saturated solution of either will give a pH of 2.4 - 2.5.
