Tanning Solutions for Small Mammals, Tan-a-Fur Skin Kit by Dale Knobloch

Established in 2017 by Dale Knobloch, Advanced Tanning Solutions has been at the forefront of leather tanning chemistry for over four decades. As a pioneer in the industry, Dale was the first to introduce groundbreaking products to the taxidermy market in the 1980s, including a one-step tanning cream. His deep understanding of the tanning process has led to the development of innovative formulations that outperform current market offerings.

Dale's lifetime contributions to the field were recently recognized with his induction into the Taxidermy Hall of Fame in 2017. Tan-a-Fur Skin is a deluxe tanning kit that showcases Dale Knobloch's latest tanning formulations, designed specifically for tanning smaller fur-bearing mammals such as rabbits, foxes, coyotes, raccoons, and beavers.

The kit is perfect for first-time tanners, providing a comprehensive set of products and tools to guide them through the entire tanning process, from start to finish. The instruction booklet and online videos walk the user through each step, ensuring a successful outcome.

The kit includes the following key components:

Fleshing: The fleshing/shaving tool helps remove excess flesh and fat from the skin, a crucial first step in achieving a good end result.

Salting: Salting is an important step in the tanning process, as it helps set the fur and prevent the skin from decaying.

Shaving: The shaving process thins and evens out the thicker areas of the skin, allowing the tan to penetrate more evenly and keeping the skin soft and pliable.

Pickle and Tanning: Tan-a-Fur Skin includes Dale Knobloch's revolutionary Pickle Tan, a product that pickles and tans all in one step, saving the user time and resulting in less shrinkage, smoother shaving, and more stretch.

Oiling: Oiling the skin is a crucial step in achieving overall softness and pliability, and the kit includes just the right amount of oil for this purpose.

Silk Powder: The Silk Powder in the kit is perfect for adding a soft, "velvet-like" finish to the tanned skin.

Tan-a-Fur Skin is the perfect kit for tanning fur and thin-skinned mammals, capable of tanning a life-size mountain lion, small bear, or several small to medium fur skins. The kit's comprehensive range of products and tools ensures a commercial-grade, soft, supple, and stretchy leather result.
