About the tanning mordanting part: inside the different video we watch they didn't use the same technic some use the mimosa bark grinding. We didn't have and choose to try by scratch and experimental. The fish skins had a first tanning by Ictyos.

* 50g of skins fish by Ictyos = 2 fish skins
* 5g of oak galls
* Put on a plate to heat
* 10min at 70 degrees

After this first test :
We decided to cut in two part the others skins we had for dispatch and see how is going for the next experience : * One we will decided to softner directly and dying after. * And other one to directly dying and after add softener.
