Members jarheaddoc Posted February 13 Members Report Posted February 13 This is an odd question. I used a bottle of the orange stuff on a deer hide as an experiment to see if it will produce buckskin. The directions do mention that it will produce buckskin. The hide right now feels more like leather than the other buckskin i've made. I've softened the hide the same way I do to make buckskin with soap and oil dressing. The last step in making buckskin is to smoke it to set the softening. What could/will happen to this hide if I smoke the hide? Thanks jarheaddoc Quote
Members Beehive Posted February 13 Members Report Posted February 13 I believe the smoking part is to keep bugs from eating it. It poisons the hide. I'm not completely sure thats the case but it rings a bell. Quote
