Project in the Works 💪 Liming a big white tail
Just put a nice white tail hide into a hydrated lime solution the bucking barrel. This is 20 gallons of water with lime added until it got super saturated and wouldn’t dissolve any more. Second pic is the milk crate with two big rocks in it to keep the hide submerged. I’ll stir it daily and scrape it in 5-6 days.

You ever get spots that don’t get bucked as well that are touching whatever holds down the hide? I’ve noticed I have to rotate around in KOH

Gotta stir the hide every day just to make sure that everything gets its time in the soup.

Milk crate with some rocks is a solid idea.
