Thanks @Marty Henry, that is what I needed to know. I can get Floc (aluminium sulphate) from Bunnings for under $10/kg compared to $50/kg for Aulm and I don't plan on getting the skin wet.
Thanks everyone for the help.
How did the skin turn out Shearer ? Must be done by now
Only fair I would have to say. Finish is ok but the tail hasn't got very soft. Hasn't lost any fur and doesn't smell funny so I am happy.

What was your tanning mix? 2:1alum and salt with kero or olive oil is one ive used before does take a bit of work to break the skin afterwards to get it supple though.
