Off for a fish in the next couple of days and the mark I fish will normally brings in a conger or two.
Has anyone tanned conger skin before? I cant find much on the net about this?
I have read before that all animals have enough brains to tan their own skin but is this true for fish?
What else could I use which is natural?
I dont really want to use any industrial chemicals.
Cheers
When I lived in a shared house about five years ago I tanned a cow skin from start to finish. I underestimated the amount of work and mess it took to produce. Funny enough all house mates moved out shortly after. I think it was me sitting in an empty bath with a stinking cow skin over my lap pulling hair out or maybe not being able to have a bath as an 8ft frame with a cow skin stretched over it took bath priority. Ive got a Mrs Now which keeps me in order and I know its more than my life is worth.
