FORMULA # 2 - LUTAN F and PRE TAN

To each gallon of water add 10oz of salt. Use only enough solution for the skins to move freely. Water should be 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add to the above salt solution: Example: on 10 lbs. shaved, drained weight of skin
10% Lutan F 10% Lutan F = 1 lb. (16oz)
1% Bascal S 1% Bascal S = 1.6 oz
1% Sodium Formate 1% Sodium Formate = 1.6 oz

Once skins have soaked overnight, raise pH to 5.0 by using baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate).

Add to the above solution:

10% Lutan F
1% Bascal S
1% Sodium Formate

After skins have soaked overnight, raise pH to 5.0 by using baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate). Remove skins, rinse and drain well.
