I've gotten both kits, the Rancher kit has a degreaser in the pack for sheep skins and liquid KwikTan. I prefer using the EZ100 kit myself. Yes, it's safe to use.

The EZ100 is the 1 I ordered the other day. Hopefully it comes with good instructions. I wonder if I could even get a nice soft beaver tan with it I think it'll work better than the orange bottle. Orange bottle is not even a tan ..the EZ100 is a garment quality tan ..get them beavers thinned out and degreased well and you will have a nice pelt of course with a little elbow grease also

coon and possum came out good, rats not so good. probable operator error. might have had too many in at one time. I used a 5 gallon bucket.

I'm going to tan a squirrel or two as well. I'll see how it goes. I've never tanned a beaver before, so I'll have to study up so it doesn't come out like a stiff board. If you can frost scrap that beaver it will really help with thinning the hide ..i had a big ol Boar coon i did that way after reading BOCOs thread and it came out real nice ..im using trubond products but it shouldnt matter EZ100 is a very good product..good luck

Now that Groeny cancelled all his routes, it looks like I'll be self tanning more pelts than I thought. I bought the Rittel's kit at the right time. Hopefully I figure out how to get beaver soft enough for a nice home tan.

What about a beaver tail...I'd like to try tanning a couple with the EZ100 kit. Do you guys think that's a good idea? I've never tanned a beaver tail b4. I just want a couple to display in the sports room.
