......@@ -210,20 +210,20 @@ Using a much larger piece of salmon skin this time,
I thought I would try a different tanning bath to see what the results will be. To the black tea tanning bath...I added **Kakishibu**...a highly tannic Japanese persimmon extract.

Starting at one capful, I increased the amount every day by one capful for 15 days.

I also added some **Red Bengara dye powder** to the tanning bath...thinking that I could turn the leather red over the 15 day tanning process. It didn't work. The color somehow didn't penetrate into the leather.

**Results**
I tanned this big piece of fish skin for 15 days...slowly increasing the amount of Kikishibu in the tanning bath. Like the previous fish skin, I conditioned the leather by hand-rubbing Coconut Oil into the skin. The end result is a tough, semi-stiff, strong piece of leather. A very different texture than the leather from the first experiment.

**Recipe:**
40g Coffee Grounds

10ml Glycerin (the recipe calls for glycerol...but I only had glycerin)

10ml Vinegar (I used generic white cooking vinegar)

100ml Water
I mixed heated the above ingredients on a stove until the mixture turned into a paste.
I mixed heated the above ingredients on a stove (stirring constantly over medium heat) until the mixture turned into a paste. The process was fast...taking only a few minutes to complete.

Then I transferred the mixture into a mold consisting of 2 small round aluminum plates.

I put the aluminum mold into a small oven and ran it for 15mins at about 150C. The material expanded and steam released during the heating. After 15mins, I leave it to cool and will repeat the process several times until I feel the bio-plastic has fully cured.
