My tumbler is in my garage and we've just got a cold spell. -20.
It's a rather large unit. 45gal drum, and I have an elk hide that has had an application of Liquatan. It is now mostly absorbed and now I want to apply the Luquasoft to it and tumble to break it down.
Is it OK to do this in such a cold temperature. How long will it take ?

Way too cold for any penetration of oil. Bring hide in the house, let it get to room temp., heat oil in nuker, then apply. Let it soak in for a day or 2 until hide starts to dry out around the edges a little. Then start pulling on it by hand to soften. A 45-50 gal barrel will not have enough drop to work an elk hide enough to soften it. It may work OK for a cape though.
-20 huh? Shouldn't have any problem with moisture!
