Hog skin
« on: January 15, 2008, 09:04:55 AM »

Would one your complete tanning kits tan a hog's hide with the hair on? I recently killed a pig that was about 400 lbs. and was thinking about tanning the hide. Thanks, LWZ

I don't have a lot of experience with pigs.  The kit will tan just about everything, it just depends on how thick the skin of the pig is.  Also, I don't know how greasy pig skin is... you may need to degrease the hide first before tanning it.
