Margaret,

Your problem is, most likely, not a processing one but a water bath one.
Try cutting the skin again with your flotation bath @ 29 degrees C or LESS.
The cooler flotation bath will help prevent the skin from blowing up.  I
would personally start at room temperature and warm it up slowly if this
presents problems with wrinkles.  I've had this same problem and this fix
works every time.

Best of Luck,
