There was some hair floating in the water. Not an extreme amount mind you, but some. I hope it was pickled enough. It still had a wet skin smell to it. Is that normal? I am using saftee acid and Mckenzie tan. It is now sitting with the tan on it till tomorrow, then I will oil it. I don't know how anybody makes money at this. I have so many hours in this one skin I won't even tell you how many. Funny thing is, I am not turned off or discouraged one bit. Whatever happens, I will take it on the chin and learn from it. My wife is getting lonely already.
If it turns out to be no good, my only regret will be that I wanted it to turn out nice for my daughter.
