I have acouple of deer capes that I used saftee acid and liqua tan.When I shaved them I used a draw knife and a regular skinning knife.They have been in the freezer for a couple of monthes,and now I just recently obtained a fleshing machine.My question is now that the capes have been already tanned and frooze,could I reflesh the capes to get them thinner and tan them again?

If I were you, I would make sure I practiced on a tanned cape or scrap cape first, but you will find that you can probably do a lot of thinning with your fleshing machine that you couldn't do using other techniques, depending on your level of skill. It is relatively easy to thin a tanned cape if it needs thinning. Take your time and go slow.
i would re-apply the liqui tan after i shaved them for the second time.
only because you may not have gotten proper penetration with the first application, because of the skin thickness.
Thanks for the advice,but do you thank I should repickle them first to plump them up again before refleshing
