Snakeskin and the order of things

<< < (2/4) > >>

Beleg813:
Does it matter if the snakeskin is tanned or does it have to be "dried" only?

DanaM:
I believe in TBB Vol 1 Chapter 11 pg 243-244 Other Backings that Paul Comstock says tanned skins can be used but glyercin
treated skins wouldn't work because glue wouldn't stick to them.

You can use them dried or green. They can be rolled up and frozen.  If you stretch them out and dry them the scales are farther apart.  You need to use two dried or two green if you want them to match good.  Justin
