WASCO Soft Tan Tanning Oil
This is absolutely the finest tanning oil on the market today. Apply to the flesh side of the skin after tanning to soften and lubricate the skin fibers for a soft, stretchy tanned skin. To use, apply the oil to the damp skin (after tanning) and allow to dry undisturbed. After skin dries, tumble in hardwood sawdust or break manually to soften. Great for rugs. Cleans easily from hair by sawdust drumming. Penetrates quickly and bonds well. Also good for topical application during the mounting process to prevent shrinking or drying of exposed membrane surfaces. Use a small brush to paint it on the skin around eyes, lips, nostrils, etc. Works with virtually any mammal skin tanning system.
