Examine it routinely while tumbling . Is it getting soft and supple? Tumble until you get desired results . Remember , No Heat! This is assuming you've tanned it with a quality product and the hide was handled properly before you attained it. Rittels pro-plus is also an excellent product that produces good results.(soft hides) Thinning properly is also a biggy when trying to achieve suppleness. Good Luck! Jeff F.
