Mink Tan I Could Buy In A Drug Store, Please?

Excuse the title. Best I could think of to convey what I mean and need.

I'm in Very rural Ireland and have just one mink skin I'd like to keep as a wall hanger. I'm looking for a basic solution the ingrediants of which I might hope to find in a small town Pharmacy. I know you guys could reccomend some top rate stuff from WASCO, etc. But this is a total one off. It couldn't justify importing such kit.

I have, in a past life, used Oxcalic Acid Crystals on similar skins and the results suited my needs. However, I haven't a clue now how I did that or what ammounts I used.

So, if anyone could remind me of the recipe for Oxcalic and / or suggest some other basic, 'over the counter' ideas I'd be grateful. Preferably something I can skin, immerse the skin in, remove and ... well ... hang it on the wall! :D

Much obliged for any advice.

Pad.
