For my first saddle, I use an old tree in good condition.

The only problem is that I can not remove all the glue set before. There are specific products to remove the glue and thoroughly clean the rawhide that covers the tree?

Thank you very much

If you can get thinner made for glue it might take the old glue off. Of if it's not bad you may be able to leave it. Do you have a picture of the tree ?

I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

Most adhesive removers are acetone based. Acetone is available from most hardware stores - get an MSDS sheet as well and wear appropriate PPE. The 3M company also produce an adhesive remover.

Gianni,

I would put another coat of laquer on that tree.

The Laquer is the Rawhide? You'll put on or take off the old one?

Actually I had thought but I think that it is difficult for me.

I'm ordering a bit 'of stuff from U.S., will also take a rawhide skin and we feel. Let's see how it is.

My english is from google translation, excuse me if I write things incomprehensible.:rolleyes2::rolleyes:

Thank tou very much CWR

No Gianni, don't take the rawhide off just put a coat of lacquer on it to seal the old nail holes. You can get it at the hardware store.

Good luck,

I can not translate the LACQUER:ranting2: !!! The translator tells me "LACCA", but we use it to comb hair and we buy it at the barber:lol:

However, now I go to a hardware store and I see to solve.

Thank you very much for your suggestions and your patience
