Using Lactic Acid

Mix 2 ounces of Lactic Acid to 10 gallons of soft water. Place washed, de-haired hides in this solution and leave in for approximately 24 to 48 hours, depending on how many times you stir it. If you stir quite frequently it takes fewer hours. After this time period take the hide out and wash it several times in 75 to 80 degree water. Now the hide is ready to tan.
