  • Publication number: 20160298202
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for setting the interscalar integument of a reptile shed for incorporation into a laminar composite. The method includes saturating the reptile shed in a saturating liquid, positioning the saturated reptile shed on a lower platen of a press, lowering an upper platen of the press to contact the saturated reptile shed, flash drying the saturated reptile shed by simultaneously applying heat and pressure using the upper and lower platens for a fixed period of time.
