Buckskin and Rawhide Supplies

In My Video "Making Your Own BUCKSKIN and RAWHIDE" I use the Following Supplies.

I Don't Use Vinyl Gloves. They Don't Stretch as Well, and the Sensitivity just isn't there. I Use and Recommend the Following:

This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP in the Pickling Process; Checking YOUR pH LEVEL and Making Necessary Adjustments. Follow the Instructions in my Video. If you don't Follow the Instructions for pH Fluctuations, your Hide will not turn out. I cannot Stress this to you Enough.

Citric, Safety or Muratic Acid used for Pickling. I DO NOT Recommend using Muratic Acid as it is Very Dangerous. Safety Precautions and Protection has to be used in its Handling. I DO Recommend Citric or Safety Acid for Pickling pH Adjustment. Baking Soda for Neutralizing.

Table Salt, Non-Iodized is Cheaper. I Buy Salt in Bulk Bags from a Local Feed Store. Check Your Local Farm or Feed Stores for Best Deals.
