What should be done if the skin feels too tight?
If it is too tight, dampen the inside skin slightly and evenly with a cloth and water (not the outside and give it time to work. It takes five minutes or so for the moisture to alter the skin, so dont overdo it. If you are playing out and the room is hot and the skin becomes to tight then dampen it with two or three tea spoons of water, beer, wine or perspiration on either side of the shin.
