How thick does a skin have to be for Liqua Tan to penetrate?
– Although Liqua Tan can penetrate an inch of skin, the skin must be properly shaved to reduce shrinkage. The thickness depends upon the individual skin. The important thing is to shave the skin thin enough where enough fiber is cut to allow proper stretch yet, not too thin where the hair follicles are cut. Skins such as bison, moose, cattle, etc. should not be attempted without proper shaving equipment or experience. Know your limitations. If you have any doubt, send the skins to a reliable tannery.
