Members bucksnort Posted August 13, 2014 Members Report Posted August 13, 2014 Zopi69, On the first hide I did I used a softer cup style brush, since I didn't see any damage to the hide on the second I went to a twisted cup style brush like you used. The results were better & faster. I went back over the first one after it was dry with flapper sanding wheel on my grinder. It buffed up nicely but the fuzz was like fine cotton. I may still have some in my ears. I didn't think to do it on the fleshing beam, I did mine in the frame, it may work better working on the solid surface, I'll try that next. Tucker6591, I only work with cow hide & get it from a local packing house, a local mobile butcher & from ranchers when they butcher or have an animal die. Buck Quote
