When you change the skin do a save as and then save it as a different file name. Rename it to match the skin you're replacing and then overwrite the original. Make backups of the original if necessary.

I had this problem once before. Copy your skin into a new file and save it as you normally would if it was a brand new skin. Try doing a clean if that dosen't work.

That seems like your best option. I have done that once and it worked perfectly!

Got to _build/sides/*side where the skin is*/pc and find the file that is your skin name, with .texture at the end of it instead if .tga, delete it, and munge your side.

It's basically a very specific manual clean.

That way your re-munge doesn't take forever and a day.
