Syringa character bow (updated)
Gordon:
Ahh, so that's how you do those tips. Never thought to use drywall tape - good idea. I like using hide glue for skins also, but I prefer the liquid stuff - it's easier to apply.

Gives a little more control around the humps and curves. but you have to be carefull not to get it to tight and leave marks in the skin. Ace bandage is more forgiving but you can't see what the skin looks like through it, and I think the drywall tape allows more air circulation to dry better. Keenan

Sounds like a Plan for my next skin job...Thanks Keenan......I too like Hide Glue...it draws the Skins down really tight when it dries...and cleanup is a Breeze with a Wet Warm Washcloth....just don't let the Wife catch you using them either!!!!
Keenan:
;D ;D ;D, Yankee, I've been caught using her good material roller cutter on leather so many times that she bought me my own for Christmas. She got tired of the dish towles ending up as rags and so she went to the thrift store and came home with a whole pile of shirts for me to cut up. I'm afraid that I will probably be kicked out of her sewing /craft room soon if I get caught one more time using it as a finish room for the bows. Keenan
