My dad works at a large butcher shop and they just throw away cow,deer, and buffalo hides. I asked my dad if he is allowed to bring a hide home and the manager said yes!! I’m going to follow this step by step to tan a buffalo hide. I’ll be posting updates.
@AdvancedTanningSolutions9 күн бұрын
We are excited to hear this! So many hides get wasted - tanning them allows you to use and enjoy the hide. Some tips for first time tanners on Buffalo: - pick up the hide as soon as you can from the butcher, then get it fleshed and salted - when you get to the shaving steps, definitely use an angle grinder with a coarse grit, shave twice to thin the hide as evenly as you can. This will help the tan to penetrate better and make breaking easier.

Thanks for the video. I’ve gotten to the salting part, but I don’t own your kit. How can I complete the process without the products you have?
@AdvancedTanningSolutions19 күн бұрын
The basics you will need is a tan (to turn the skin into leather) and oil (to soften it). If looking for something simple, you can use NuTan - it is all in one tan.

Is there a way to reuse the salt for later tans?
@AdvancedTanningSolutions27 күн бұрын
We do not recommend reusing salt - as used salt has absorbed blood, and fluids from the previous hide and can build bacteria. Purchasing salt in large quantity bags is economical, so you can use fresh salt for each new hide.

Hello. If you remove all the hair do you put the NuTan on both sides?
@AdvancedTanningSolutionsАй бұрын
Good question. Yes, when making buckskin, apply the "normal" amount of NuTan to the flesh side. Let this soak in for 1-2 hours, then fold flesh to flesh and apply a "thin" layer of NuTan to the de-haired side. Fold the hide again and put in a plastic bag overnight. The next day, open and hang. Be sure to start working the hide when it is semi-dry to keep it soft. Thank you.

@@buffaloman5042 It is best to remove the scales after the snakeskin has been tanned (it is firmer at this point) and before it is oiled (the oil will penetrate better). The direction booklet for the Tan-a-Snake kit shows how to remove them. It is just gently popping them off with the fleshing tool or scraping with steel wool with no soap. Go easy as to not remove the pigment.

You can, but that will still yield a raw skin and won't tan it. For a simpler process, try our NuTan. It is a liquid all-in-one tan with fewer steps. After fleshing, we recommend salting then rehydrating - you can follow the directions for NuTan from there.

@AdvancedTanningSolutions8 ай бұрын
David, thank you for your comments. I am replying to all 3 here. First, this elk hide was heavily salted until there was no more moisture pulled out. Since we planned on tanning it right away, we did not completely dry salt it. Pickle Tan A-21 is very much a tan. It is a powder blend developed to be used as a pickle and tan in one bath. Yes, a new concept from traditional tanning. Our founder, Dale Knobloch, worked with commercial tanneries to test and fine tune this innovative product. Yes clearly, the hide is not as soft as it would be if it was tumbled in a commercial drum with wood shavings (one of these is on my wish list). However, this video is targeted for the DIY tanner, so breaking a hide in a tumbler is generally not an option. An elk especially, takes A LOT of elbow grease. Last comment, this hide was tanned 2 years ago and does not have any slippage. It was our son's first elk, so some of the areas you may be referring to could be from being dragged (in the high rugged Colorado terrain) prior to skinning/dressing. Since you do tanning and taxidermy, and would like to try Pickle Tan A-21, let me know.

@@AdvancedTanningSolutions I've used pickle tans before, I just never liked the quality of the finished product. I've tanned several elk with Lutan and had very little trouble breaking them, stretching as they dry and a soft, supple hide as a finished product. I had to remount all the animals I mounted with pickle tans because of the shrinking and cracking after a few years. I'm not trying to knock your product, I'm just saying there are better, easier ways to get a quality tan
@davidpalmer97408 ай бұрын
You aren't actually tanning the hide, just pickling it and neutralizing it. It will eventually fall apart or get hard as a rock because the hide isn't actually leather without using an actual tanning solution. A real tan is a much better way to go if you want a quality hide that will stand the test of time

There are pros and cons to putting a hide in a frame - if you do, put it in after it has been tanned and oiled. It will dry flat, but you are unable to really work it. You can rub something coarse like sandpaper or a dull tool over the flesh side to help break it.
