What is out there as far as a 1 step tan ?
Looking for something to use on small game ,yotes,cats,etc. with out having to salt and rehydrate ?
I would suggest HQ PT from Head Quarters Taxidermy Supply. I did an article with it in Taxidermy Today using a bobcat, it turned out great. You do have to salt and rehydrate but not pickle. I am sure there are other products out there where you do not need to salt and rehydrate.
I’m guilty of using DP on coyotes and any thing smaller, people just do not take care of those small critters and years ago I stopped trying to tan them. I always seemed to lose hair with slippage problems, you can’t leave a fox in the back of the truck for a week and expect a good skin for tanning. I can not even imagine the stuff they get in at the tannerys:p

I looked at that once Jeremy might give it a try I have a couple of yotes to do. Does it need to be salt hard or can I salt like normal and after the 2ed salt go right to rehydrating it and tan?
We have detailed instructions but this the main part of it. Turn lips,eyes,nose ears and remove feet and tail-flesh off red meat and flat- salt and roll up over night(small mammals would need less time)-rinse off salt on flesh side under water for about 20 seconds, then a more detail fleshing/shaving, apply HQ PT and let dry over night, rehydrate/wash in salt water and HQ degrease and ready to mount with tight hair and lots of stretch.
Thanks Jeremy Believe I will be giving it a try very soon.
