Hello. First post in 2016, and in I made it into January (At least its January, still, here in Arizona).
First off, for those who don't know who I am and why I ask these odd questions, I'm this person: (https://forums.deeperblue.com/threa...s-not-a-mermaid-who-writes.77768/#post-860315).
This question is about dogfish skins. Once the skin is removed, treated, and ready to use for sanding, I know the outer surface is rough. But what does the inner surface of such a treated dogfish skin feel like?

Ok well I would guess that the skins once dried will have one abrasive side and one much finer side that might be of some use for very fine work?
EDIT
Actually I have given this a bit more thought and I feel pretty sure only the outside would be abrasive & the inside would be non abrasive.

Shark skin is rough in one direction as it is covered in denticles, whilst on the inside it will just be normal skin so will be smooth I would have thought, just a thought! 
The EU is a confusing and annoying place, apparently because Germany has a written constitution they can deem new EU laws to be unconstitutional and not adopt them................ we don't have a written constitution and so don't currently have the same privilege................... I know it sounds like I am making this stuff up, but its real, it really is!!!!!
I would imagine that the EU directive counts as law, in that we automatically have to adopt EU laws, but I could be wrong?

Apparently... despite the sea fisheries announcement... Guernsey shore isn't defined as EU waters so it doesn't apply to our shore!
I really don't know what is happening in Guernsey, there are plenty of questions being asked but no specific answers being given.
I assume Sea fisheries don't know themselves?

Good luck to sea fisheries trying to police that one if it is ever inforced! I have seen plenty of people still spinning for bass when walking the dog recently!
Sea fisheries cant just introduce a new law. Surely, any law that can result in an offence leading to criminal prosecution would need to be ratified by the states .
Would that happen quickly....... it would be a first..
Tackle shops and commercial sandeel fishermen would take a very big hit.......
Why didnt sea fisheries act 10 yrs ago ?

That shows real skill, rod in one hand, lead in the other.

Me, Jonny and Chris braved the weather today for a spot of scalloping.
As expected vis was pretty rubbish! Nice to see all the small spiders walking around though. Had enough for dinner and a nice walk so I am happy. Water was lovely and warm and had a chance to test out some new kit.
