We recommend the following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut in a vice and rasp the hardening compound off – the ends can be done with a coarse sander. When removed ,soak head in water for an hour, dry off and rasp again.\u003cbr\u003eAfter this you will not see any spirals of the leather but rather like the inner side of a piece of leather and will be a soft surface.
