Holy shit you guys are fast. Did not expect a reply this quickly! To PastorBob's point I agree and normally I would but this pesky roll has been lying around for close to what feels like a millennium and id like to do something manageable with it rather than throw it out. it might just end up becoming a stack of new coasters to chuck123wapati, I dont have one unfortunately but ive tried a sanding down some bits with a drill attachment on a drill to varying success. I always seem to lose control of one thing or the other lol. Thanks guys!!

Hello everyone, ive been a long time lurker and this is my first time posting excited to be joining the community. Here's my issue and what I think might possibly work but afraid to try and id like to hear what everyone advises. I've got a large hide that id like to thin down to be more workable for what I need, buying a splitter isnt an option and manually skiving it with a knife or skiver is leaving me with ridges and is going take a hell of a long time. I was thinking of applying contact cement, letting it stand for a while and then placing a canvas over that and basically ripping some of the flesh side off, kind of like if you think about how someone gets hair waxed off their body. I got the idea from a mistake I made and trying to detach 2 pieces the way one side almost cleanly ripped a layer's worth of flesh off. Im wondering if anyone has any advice, tried anything similar with success or has another way to do this that wont make my arm full off from manually skivving thanks everyone!
