[Texastaxi]

Borax is the same ingredient in Terro ant bait & those DIY turkey fan /beard kits.
I wanna say people in the old days brushed their teeth with this stuff

[Texantax]

That's not tanning. That's rawhide.

This^^ And if you're gonna do it this way why not just use plain Borax?

You can buy a box of borax at the grocery store for a few bucks. To tan a hide properly requires a lot of time and effort.
