lap9387 1 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 After a long day out with my old man and the ferrets, ive got a few rabbit skins i'm going to tan and have a go at making slippers, ive got a few questions for anyone in the know: Im trying the cover in salt, scrape off all fat, cover in egg yolk, wash and work the hide technique, which in all fairness is a bit of a chew on. I read it can take less than 24 hours, but after trying one salted skin, no matter how hard i tried, i could not get all the fat to come off, i was left with fat round the edges and small fat bobbles that tear before they come off. Has anyone tried the salt & alum mix in water method? does it make the fat removal easier? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
