Cipriano,
I have a couple of skins in the Freezer that I plan to do some testing with.
But still have to scrape and dry them to Rawhide first...
They are pretty thick and tough, who knows?

I think they would make a good backing but I was bummed when saw them turn grey GL Gus I hope you can figure out how to keep them gold colored it would make a pretty color if the stayed true
