happyloz72 said:thanks for that will give it a try. What about the preserving thing. Do you have any ideas about that?![]()
I find the pigskin very hard to keep clean and to get sharp lines on!I wash it in soapy water and clean any fatty gunk of the surface as reccommended i then shave it if neccessary'then apply a coat of vaseline but it still i find i have to use tons of paper roll with green soapy water to keep it clean 'but this takes some of the surface of it and it ends up like blotting paper has anyone any tips for this ?
Thanks will try that'Soak it in red hot water for 10 minutes, then scrub it with a spongy brillo thingy, and dry it. You will find it quite easy to use, but make sure you use plenty of vasso, although not too much, or it will clog up your needle and tip.
If it didnt stink after an hour or so, i would send you a load over. LOLBoard of Health rules say no piggy here![]()
