You are right. I seem to be having camera problems. I will try to remedy that in future pics..
Here is a pic with iPhone. I've flipped over the piece I will use for top layer of yoke (one of two), and scrubbed one layer of casein into the flesh side. I will just use one layer on this side, and I will finish this side by rubbing some oil with beeswax melted into it as a further waterproofing coat. The layer below it will have just one coat of casein on each side and the oil on both; the layers will be sewn together at the edges with goat leather. The casein is already emulsified with linseed oil and is suitable for outdoor use. With my Tut scale armour project, the casein adheres so permanent!y to the hide that you can't get it off without damaging the hide scales themselves.

Kindles and iPhones and imgur don't work well together. Anyway. There is zero cracking, there are a couple of deep wrinkles in hide, but I'll just use those for bottom layers! Casein was used in shoe industry to make those white shoes. If you have seen those, you know how well the stuff bonds with hide and leather.
