I want to tan a couple African skins. They have been salt dried for about a year. I want to know the best method of rehydrating them to get max stretch. Thanks

On the Trubond Tanning Supplies facebook page, I give step-by-step instructions, on African, Bears, and small game.

They have been here for a while, so yo will have to go back a few months.
