Self Tanning Beaver Tails?

[Mudruck]

I have a couple raw beaver tails coming to me in the next few days. Any advice on tanning the tails for used on projects? I have tanned deer, coyote and elk hides using braintanning methods and that tanning solution that comes in the flo-orange bottle, but nothing for use such as these. Do you think it would be acceptable to dliute the self tan solution down a bit and after cleaning and scraping the tails, letting them soak in the solution for a week or two?

Has anyone else has experience doing something similar?

Thanks!

I've chrome tanned beaver tails and with the proper chemicals it takes about a week.

Check Van Dykes Taxidermy to see what they have for kits.

Anyone ever dye this? Also,is there a resist technique for dyeing the skin, but leaving the scales natural (or two different colors for that matter)?
