Salted Skins For $35
Prefer to do the turning and salting yourself? That's not a problem at all.
Be sure to turn your skins completely and double salt.
Skins should be completely dry before you box them.
We recommend you punch your skins so you can identify whom they belong to when you get them back. If you prefer to put a waterproof tag on them we suggest you put it on the bottom portion of the cape in the middle of the back and we will do our best to see that it stays there.
Detail shaving of eyes, lips and nose is included on frozen skins but not on salted skins. If you have any other questions concerning prepping or salting, feel free to email us - info@micro-tan.com.
Do's and Don'ts for Salted Skins
- Just after salting, hang your cape so the fluids can escape. Never roll them or leave them lay flat. In our opinion, doing so has them soaking in the bacteria you are trying to remove from them, which prevents drying.
- Prior to boxing, be sure they are dried completely. When we receive them they will stay in the box you shipped them in until we are ready to process. If they are still somewhat moist you will run the risk of them slipping in the areas that are not completely dry.
- Double salting is the best insurance you can have for getting a well-tanned cape. Salt and hang them where they can drip. The next day come back and knock the salt off and reapply another salting. Hang again and let dry. A fan or a dehumidifier does a wonderful job in speeding the drying time.
- Salting is a big factor in the quality of your tanned skin. Letting them dry completely sets the hair and prepares the skin for the tan.
- Prior to salting, cut or scrape any big chunks of meat off of the cape. Always be sure to turn eyes, ears, nose and lips completely before salting. Salt will only penetrate ¼", therefore if you haven't turned completely, or removed the large chunks, the salt will never reach the area it was intended to, leaving it raw and very susceptible to slipping.
- Again if you have any questions feel free to email us.
