Troy Burch Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Got my first HO back in yesturday. It has what looks to be a white tanning solution streak on a slight angle down the middle the entire lenght of the hide. Will this stuff cause problems or can it be ignored? I've searched for answers and couldn't find anything about it. Haven't had this problem before because I 've always hand picked my leather at tandy. Am I going to lose a 1/3 of this hide or can something be done about it. Thank you Troy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted July 10, 2014 If you aren't sure what it is, I'd just send it back. For the money a guy pays for HO, shouldn'a outta be no 'streaks'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Burch Report post Posted July 12, 2014 Nobody knows what the white splotches are? I've seen it a lot on other hides but picked over them and never asked anyone that worked there what it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
needles Report post Posted July 13, 2014 it could be leather spew..... thats where the fat liqours destabalise and start leaking through, can be cleaned with a spew remover abd rstabalised....if it is, they are often quite greasy to the touch, if wiped with a wet cloth often dissappears but will come back again if not ttreated..... just a thought Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
