Skip.....
First thing I do,is gently wipe the skin with alcohol,then apply CP, and then two coats of epoxy....
Thank you for the compliment....

Beautiful MaryLou. Now do one with a Coachwhip skin. I don't even know if those skins are available.

Looks great. Hope the tree huggers dont catch on to what we are doing to their poor little snakies. Can the skins be cut into strips and wrapped hellically onto the rod?
