Re-freezing tanned hide

Submitted by John Smith on 03/30/2003. ( ) 152.163.188.34

I thawed my cape and went to put it on form. The form is to big and I'm not comfortable with modifying to the point it would take to fit. Will it be ok to refreeze without experiancing slippage. Thank you John

My capes come back from the tanner wet tanned, usually thay are thawed when they get here. I freeze them and order the forms. I thaw them and do all the prep work on five or six at one time. Then I refreeze most and take them out as I need them. Occasionally a form doesn't fit and they will be refroze again until the right size is available.


Thanx
