Can you salt hides for storage, stack somewhere, and later tan with chemicals for a softer, more durable hide? I'd like to use a commercial tanning solution but I need the temps outside to be high enough so we are waiting while the hide pile up. I don't have the link to the solution right now. I have 100s of hides in the freezer and wanted to try salting for storage and I think it might be enough to use them for dog toys but I'd also like to use some like the steel and some of the brokens to make a rabbit hide blanket. I've got 5 hides almost dry and started going over them softening and scraping a little. When done I was thinking of stacking them in an extra rubbermaid drawer system I have some space for in the corner Shimo keeps filling with bedding.
