1st. Get some Steel Wool and Some Viniger and a Jar to Hold it in

Let it Sit in the Jar for a Few Weeks to a Few Months I Let My Batch Sit for 3 Months Untill I Used it for Tanning.
Vent the Mixture every few Days to expel any gasses that form in the Jar.
after a Few Months You Get this

Get another Jar and Filter the Nasty Bits and Sludge you get at the Bottom of the Jar.
