Just put on a snakeskin inlay (my first). Due to a poor job of fitting the skin buckled at the seam while drying. Can I remove the skin without ruining it and reapply? Re: Snakeskin Inlay

Sure but you have to be sorta careful. Wet a brush with CP and apply it as you pull the skin off. Then just recut it and reapply. EZPZ Re: Snakeskin Inlay

Thanks, Matthew. It worked!!!! In case anyone else needs to remove and reapply a snakeskin inlay just make sure to take your time. Start at the seam and slowly and carefully begin to peel and lift the skin a little bit at a time. If you hit a stubborn spot put on some color preserver and let it sit for a while. In the meantime work on another area of the skin. It took me over an hour but the end result is a perfectly fitting skin with no damaged scales or ripped skin. The main thing is to just be patient. Now I have another question, since the skins are pretty thick how do you put a trim band on? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
