Has anyone ever removed the casing from the sinew then soaked in warm water and then separated into the individual fibers? I did, and it seemed to work much easier then dry fiber. The only issue is having enough room to re-dry, when dry they are the color of hide glue. It will be interesting to see when I rehydrate to apply to a bow if this impacted their structure and I am sure I will need to soak much longer in water prior to applying. It just seemed to make the process of the separation much easier.
