Krowtann 2000 Krowtann 2000 Instructions
WASCO is proud to offer this amazing new tanning solution that is sweeping the industry. Enthusiastically endorsed by National Champion taxidermists Rick Carter, Don Stevens, and Brian Harness, Krowtann 2000 is so easy to use that it is virtually error-proof. No salting, no pH checks and no oiling is required to produce an excellent mountable tanned skin. It's as easy as 1-2-3! Just rough flesh the hide, mix the Krowtann solution with water and salt and submerge the skin for 3 to 4 days, neutralize with baking soda, and do the final fleshing. The skin is now ready to mount immediately, or be frozen for mounting later. That's it! Krowtann produces a stretchy white leather which mounts beautifullly for maximum detail. The 32 oz. container of Krowtann 2000 will effectively tan 4 large deer capes or 8 lifesize bobcat skins. Instructions included.
