I sanded 60 grit paper the limbs, I acetoned the limbs, I liberaly applied titebond 3 the limbs while soaking the skins. I then finger-swiped dry the skins and applied them. I worked out the air (so i hope) and started taking off some scales as they dried. I am thinking that as I "de-scaled) these puppies, I may have gotte down too far.....IS THAT POSSIBLE??????.....I can see kinda whiteish looking skin at 2 places between scales (pointed  skin flakes). what do I do now?....how long till I can trim excess skin off sides????.......what type of super glue do I use for covering the skins??????

u use tb2.
then cover with a thin coat of poly spray.
i trim with a fine file, and slowly and carefully do it!!!!!
it will com off easy when fully dry.

maybe you rubbed them the wrong way you have to rub the with the scales not against them .

I use tb-2 and also a wooden roller to apply the skins, trim the edges when dry, the little white marks should blend in when they darken as you apply the sealer, I use 1 thin coat of thick industrial CA(superglue)  to seal and bring out the color after removing the scales and lightly sanding with 220,(I like a little texture to my skins)...  I use 220 on the edges too, then I apply finish.

I used damp snakeskins overhide glue and moved the skins around to let all air escape. I let dry used a butterknife against the scales then tape. I coated with abput six applications of true oil.
