I should be getting my new processed vellum head from Bill Miller's folks tomorrow, and am wondering what to use to treat the head. I have a spray on treatment, Sno-Seal product that boasts 10% (high) silicone, recommended for use on suede, natural fabrics, etc. It says that it allows materials to breath, which I'm afraid means that it allows skin heads to be more susceptible to humidity changes - it does say multiple applications increase the waterproofing, so could apply two coats. I also have the Sno-Seal paste stuff that I use on leather boots, etc, but it's supposed to be used on a warmed object, which I'm a little afraid might mess up the premount.
I can buy something else if I have to, but that will require a trip into town, and I'd obviously like to use something I already have. Anyone know if one product over the other would be best?
