Knapp.....go for the Alcohol....Acetone is pretty Harsh...and I know that Glycerin Softened Snake Skins will work....because I have used many....and they turn out just fine....make sure that they are really clean....and then to make sure that they are....let them dry....they will get all papery feeling if all of the Glycerin is gone....then just rehydrate them....and back with them....I promise they will be just fine.......really

Kinda sounds like the glycerin treatment, at least for shipping and storing, might not be a bad idea?

I use nothing but SS rawhides... just dried, not tanned. They're paper thin, but actually pretty tough. Just glue 'em down with TB3, trim, finish, and away you go.
