Has anyone in here ever soft tanned a hide if so what chemicals did you use and how did you go about it?

Soft hides are tanned the same as hides for taxidermy. They are not softened by chemicals, but must be broken. This is done either by hand, with a very large tumbler. or a staking machine. It can be done at home, but it's NOT fun and never turns out like a professionally prepared hide.

When I want something to be soft,I send it the tannery and get them to dry tan it.Its a lot of work trying to break it yourself,but it can be done.
