Hide curing for dog training.

[trucraft]

What products are available to treat a hide that are relatively easy?
I have used salt in past but it’s slow and I find in this damp time of year not so good.
I don’t need it to be house worthy as it will live in workshop.
Just wondering what others are doing?
I will use salt if the alternative is overly expensive or a faff.

Why not give brain tanning a go? Plenty of videos on YouTube and no nasty chemicals?

Why do you need a full hide?
Frozen shanks and a few strips of skin should be enough to lay a trail

I don’t use hide to lay a track. Just hoof and little blood. Hide will be for the end of track.
I use a real deer sometimes but it’s not very convenient.
