casing question...

[dAWGS]

im planning on stuffing some hot sticks tomorrow using 17mm collagen casings.   do i need to soak them or anything first or are they ready to go out of the package?

[Friar_Tuck]

I use them "Dry" right out of the package.

Never soak collagen, it will fall apart upon stuffing

Sure would like to find the source for those twin tubes!
Not sure if the one sausagemakers.com has would fit.
Thanks.
