Alum Tanning
The alum tanning solution was stirred because it had again separated into two layers. This test strip showed a slight change in appearance in that it was slightly less translucent.
The alum tanning paste was removed from the third test strip and a new layer was applied. This piece of hide appeared to be much more dimensionally stable than when first introduced to the alum tanning paste and was no longer shiny or translucent.
Liming
The large test strips were removed from the liming solution to remove the hair. The hides were not ready to be dehaired as the hair was not removed easily from the hide. These pieces were placed back in the liming solution and allowed to soak for another day.
