Go take a look at this guy,  http://www.instructables.com/id/Curing-S...

he seems to know what he is doing.  We used to use Hydrocholic acid - very diluted, to start off but this is  more recent than the last time I  did it, but I wanted to cover the dummy on a training aid for gundogs, so it didn't really matter how long it lasted!

Have a good tan!
