Ed a bison hide sounds amazing! Good work for tackling that. Should be a lot of fun and provide a great learning opportunity. For some reason it seems that North American's and Canadians have trouble buying chromium sulphate in country. Which is strange. It's readily available in Australia. You could try using an alternative tanning chemical/solution as the process should be relatively similar. Have you tried googling "buy tanning solution" or "buy tanning chemical" into google/ebay/amazon? That's how I would approach it if I were you.

Will Himalayan salt work in place of the non-ionized salt? How much water is needed to dissolve the chromium sulfate? The amount that was lost during the pickling process? And is chromium potassium, sulfate the same as chromium sulfate or is there difference Good job by the way

@Thehuntsmanshow

7 ай бұрын

Not sure about the Himalayan salt. If it's not treated through a chemical process it should be fine. You'll just have to test it to be sure The water to dissolve the chromium sulfate is dependant on how much you used for the pickling solution. The ratio is I'm the video I believe :) You need to add that dissolved solution PLUS the pickled water. I'm no chemist, but I believe that chromium potassium is not the same as chromium sulfate. I wouldn't risk it personally. Best to use the sulfate derivative. You could test it though... See what happens? Good luck Desmond! Let me know how you go :)

Himalayan salt is natural Without chemical alteration, It’s just pink in color. I agree completely, 😅 they are not the same. It’s a bit tricky finding the chromium sulfate derivative. Without the potassium and without needing a license. Bloody American😊. Either way I will let you know for sure. It may be a hot minute before I’m done though. I’m just now throwing the skin in the freezer. Is there an expiration time in the freezer and can I use a power washer to remove the skin from the hair 🤔 if I said that right…. I’ll go back and rewatch it I may have missed it. All is well. 😊

It's strange you guys can't seem to get your hands on it. Maybe it's also an active ingredient in something more sinister too haha. If the salt is natural it will be fine :) Regarding the power washer (we call them pressure washers) you can use them to remove the flesh from the skin, but you need to be careful you don't cut through the skin. As for a time limit on the freezer.. I'm sure there is a number, but it's probably in the years .. you've got plenty of time.
