Tanned and Dried Hides

Submitted by Tim Thomas on 05/12/2003. ( cak002@mail.connect.more.net ) 204.185.68.250

I tanned a few hides several weeks ago and they have dried. I did not break them I just oiled them and let them dry. I want to get them as soft as possible. How do I go about breaking them now. Do I have to rehydrate them? They are tanned with Lutan-F. I have 2 elk, two WT Deer and a couple bobcat hides.
