Snake skins

[bubby]

heck ya just soak them a few minutes till they soften up, then dry off the surface water, wetting them just makes application easier

I always soak mine then squeegee the excess water out of them and let em air out a few minutes so they are not saturated with water but moist and pliable. Then apply them to the back that has TBII on it, fresh not sized. I squeegee the excess glue out of it and all the air bubbles and then just let it dry. I then trim the edges with a razor blade.  It works great have had no problems this way.  Danny

I also wet the skins.  Being wet makes them quite supple and easier to work air pockets out.
