Does anyone know of a good way to get the tanning smell off of your new leather. I just purchased a buckskin split, and it smells like formaldahyde. Aside from letting it air out, is there a faster way to reduce the smell of the tanning solution?? Thanks!
How to remove tanning odor from buckskin?
If it's light-colored, dust with bicarbonate of soda (that's *dry* baking soda) and brush off the excess the next day. It's a good general-use deodorant.
If it's dark-colored, hang it up with crumpled newspaper, also noted for "taking up" odors. Don't use printed newspaper with anything that could be damaged by newspaper ink. Sometimes the tag ends of rolls of newsprint paper can be purchased inexpensively or even begged from printers.
