DIY Products FAQ
What makes Advanced Tanning Solutions DIY tanning kits different from other tanning products?
Each Advanced Tanning Solutions kit is built from the same professional-grade formulations trusted by commercial tanneries — just scaled for home use. We’ve taken decades of tanning experience and distilled it into easy-to-follow, reliable systems that help you achieve professional results in your own workspace.
Do I need prior tanning experience to use these kits?
Not at all. Our DIY tanning kits are designed to be approachable for first-time tanners while still meeting the standards of seasoned professionals. Each kit includes step-by-step instructions and is supported by video tutorials on our YouTube channel to guide you through the process from start to finish.
What supplies are included in a DIY tanning kit?
Every kit includes the essential tanning agents, oils, and neutralizers you’ll need to tan a hide successfully. We’ve curated the formulas and quantities so you can focus on learning the craft instead of guessing measurements — all made in the USA and designed to work together seamlessly.
Can I tan different types of hides with the same kit?
Yes. Our DIY kits are versatile enough to tan a wide range of hides — from deer and elk to smaller game, reptiles, and even furs. We also offer specialty products for unique applications, ensuring consistent, soft, and durable results across hide types.
How many hides can I tan with one kit?
It depends on the species and size of the hides. Each kit includes enough material for multiple small hides or a single large hide, with product quantity clearly listed on every label. For ongoing or larger projects, individual components are also available separately.
Are Advanced Tanning Solutions DIY tanning products safe to use at home?
Our hide and fur tanning solutions are not regulated for transport and do not fall under Prop 65. They are formulated for safe commercial or home use when handled according to the instructions. We recommend standard PPE—gloves, apron, and eye protection—for best practice and safety.
Can I customize my process or combine Advanced Tanning Solutions products with others?
You can, but for best results, we recommend using Advanced Tanning Solutions products together. Every formula in our DIY line is designed for full compatibility, ensuring that your tanning, oiling, and finishing steps perform as intended without unwanted reactions.
