I have a few that were tanned at Moyles and now that they are a few years old the leather side is starting to get a bit stiff and seems like a little bit of the "luster" is going away from the fur side. Also curious as to the best way to get that soft feel out of a self tanned fur? I tanned a few fox with the rittels EZ-100 kit and they came out OK but the fur seemed to finish with a slight greasy feel. Thanks!

I recently got 2 full pages of directions for the Rittels EZ-tan 100 kit I bought this winter (haven't tried it yet). Hopefully the instructions tell ya ~everything we need to know. If you need the instructions let me know & I could email them to you. Last edited by AJE; 03/14/20 11:37 AM.
