Members CitizenKate Posted January 24, 2009 Members Report Posted January 24, 2009 Sounds like you are down the skin near the belly ,that will act like you describe, in your post.How can i get in touch with W&C? Yeah, I forgot to mention that... I've also gotten some sides (from other tanneries) that were like that around the belly. W&C's overstock sale is on until the 31st of January. Kate Quote
MADMAX22 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 Thanks guys, that may be it Im about half way down the side. Maybe a little more. Quote
David Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I've had this happen a few times with nearly everyone's hides, The solution is vigorous glassing or slicking. This will compact the leather and improve tooling characteristics. It is done wet. I use a Barry King glassing tool. David Theobald Quote
