[davinci 6]

Has anyone tried the white skins product? Any other methods you use?

Depends what you want them for. You could just stretch, scrape and salt and leave in a dry, pref sunny spot. They come out crispy.. if you want them supple you will have to tan them. Naturally or chemically. Its said an animal contains enough brain matter to tan its own hide, mash up its brains and leave the skin to soak in the solution. Or you could just buy the kit. Here`s a link to brain tanning. http://www.braintan.com/articles/furs/miller1.html
