Wildfibre's proprietary blend tanning powder is a food grade, shelf stable, animal lecithin based formula that replaces brains in all types of brain hide tanning applications. The results are the highly sought after butter soft white leather, just as you would expect when tanning with brain matter from the animal.
Simply mix desired amount with water until desired consistency (most often a yogurt consistency) so the solution stays on the leather side of the hide without running off and allows to soak into the hide using the Wildfibre Organic Tannery TM methods as taught in our workshops and online courses.
Start with a few table spoons and add small amounts of warm water and blend with an immersion blender or food processor for 3- 5 minutes. Solution will thicken more upon standing. For best results, apply to leather side of the hide while it is still warm and allow to soak in without contact with air for 12 hrs.
