How to Lime Hides

Place a Raw Hide on a Drying Frame. It'll become a Dried Hide after about 8 hours. NOTE: Dried Squirrel Pelts cannot be used to make Limed Hides.)
Select a Lime and right-click it onto a Vessel filled with Potable Water to make Milk of Lime. NOTE: Using Milk of Lime with concentrations less that .4% may not work correctly.
Select your Dried Hide on a bucket of Milk of Lime to create a Limed Hide. A full Bucket of Milk of Lime can make 4x Limed Hides.

A Limed Hide can be stored in a Stockbin.

WARNING! Crafting Limed Hides with any Madness levels runs the risk of it becoming an unusable

The most effective way to make Tanning Fluid is by selecting a Brain and right-clicking it onto a Vessel of Potable Water. If a Bucket was used this will make 10 liters of Tanning Fluid with a 5% concentration. Tanning Fluid can also be made by boiling Birch Bark in a Clay Pot or Copper Pot although you should boil enough that the concentration is at least 5%.
Place up to 4x Limed Hides into your Tanning Tub.
Select a Vessel of Tanning Fluid and right-click it on your Tanning Tub. 10 liters of 5% concentrated Tanning Fluid is required for each Limed Hide.
Wait - as your Limed Hide begins to tan its progress bar will go up.
Each time a Limed Hide's progress bar reaches 100% it consumes 10 liters of Tanning Fluid and is converted into Leather and very rarely Fine Leather. There's a chance of your Limed Hide becoming a Foetid Ooze instead, if that happens the Tanning Fluid will not be consumed.
