Snake skins?

[MikeS]

I think I read here that you should spread super glue over your snake skin after you have it glued to the limb.  What is the purpose of that?
And, is there a special super glue you are supposed to use?  How do you spread that without it sticking to everything?  Thanks for the info.

Mike, I have heard people recommend super glue, and others say not to use it. I am currently doing a set for a friend. I am applying Tru-oil over the skins then I will apply some spray on Matte finish to cut down the shine. It works great!

I used super glue on some skins and I had a couple spots cloud up where the limb bent a little more in one spot than the rest of the limb. I'm going to try tru-oil this time I think.

Thanks for the info guys.  A.S., I got some diamond backs from Mike Yancy like you suggested.  So far so good!  If these turn out, I am going to get another set for my other limbs.
Thanks again.

Good deal Mike. I'm just finishing up the set that I'm doing for my bud (2Hats on here).

I will be skinning my ACS limbs soon. I'd really like to find a set of canebrakes for it.

A.S. I have been doing snake skins for years and also use Tru Oil and spray Deft in Satin finish.

I just used Min-wax Spar urethene on my snake skins,worked great for me.

Ok, My first skin that I put on yesterday has a spot that I can't get the scales to lift off. Any ideas?

i use a knife with a sharp point and just pull them up one at a time, make sure it is dry and they should come up real easy. loyd

Here is the skin I got from a friend. The other is way darker. Does anyone have one they'd sell this shade?
