Rick, I'm in the middle of the pickling step with a steer hide. Now knowing that cows are much thicker than deer, do I need to keep it in the pickle longer than three days? And will I need to leave the tan on longer? (I have the Mckenzie pickle and tanning solution). Thank you for your time Michelle
I would leave it in the pickle another day or two longer. Keep on top the pH. Make sure you agitate frequently. Neutralize. Leave the tanning crème on for an additional day. Good luck. - Rick
