With DP if it dont fit now it will not fit later.

Try working more hide up onto the form, it may help! If not washing will not help, you should have the shaving washing everyting done before putting it in the freezer.


And NEVER DP it before freezing

We've seen this a lot here lately. Dry Preservative is the LAST thing you do before you stretch the hide over the form. NO EXCEPTIONS.


Why do you keep...
