RIGHT!
Have been reading up on brain tanning and, I have to say, it all sounds exact until you look really close and then every site is not only different but sometimes contradict each other. :roll:
So, do you cook the brains or just warm them up before blending them?
Why do you REALLY NOT WANT the brain solution to touch the fur side?
When using a salted hide, how much soaking and rinsing does it need and why does it need much anyway, does the salt interfere with the brains?
And they all say WRING OUT THE HIDE!!! But I keep reading that wringing out a hide will make the fur slip. Who is right, wring it or never wring it?
I think that is about enough to start with :lol:
Four rabbits are off to freezer camp today so I will have four brains and I have one salted, almost prime, rabbit hide all dry and ready to experiment with.
