It may well be as you say, Matt. On the other hand, my shield (3 days dry, now) seems ot be "deforming" to look more and more like the shields in 6th c vase art. As an example, the whole shield is actually moving the ends "up" just as you see in most 6th c. vase illustrations of a Boeotian sideways on....
Matt, you do this way more than I, but I wouldn't use glue on wet rawhide. The glue dries at unstable speeds and the rawhide tightens at unstable speeds, and the combination is uncontrollable. Or so says my dad.... he build musical instruments, and he told me NOT to put a glue layer under the hide. So I didn't.
