now comes the questions, I did a search for pickling solutions and came out with several different mixes, my question is which would be the simplist to keep a constant ph level, yet easy to prepare? The other question is what brand of tan (or is there a homemade recipe) that yeilds good results and is usser friendly? Any opinions are appreciated as this is my first attempt at tanning and would like to have the results in my favor, thanks in advance James
