Rittels safety acid works great and isn't dangerous like battery acid.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Chrome tan is good for leather but most people don't use it for fur products since it turns the leather bluish-green. It can be dyed thought, usually some shade of brown.

I was able to find a correct recipie that would give me a ph of around 1.5 using battery acid. from what I was told. "use 1/2 pound or 8 ounces of salt and 1/2 ounce by weight of battery acid or sulfuric acid you will end up with a pH of 1.2 and this is very desirable for properly charging the Hide for tanning and cleaning out the unwanted‘s ".
