This is a photo of a hide that I fleshed and dehaired with our pressure washer. I fleshed one day, soaked the hide two days and then dehaired taking the grain off it too. If there is any grain on the hair side or membrane left on the flesh side, when we are softening the hide we just gently remove it with this spiffy little pumice stone we purchased at Ace. Also.... a well prestretched hide should fold over on it's own when it is taken off the frame. If it doesn't,,, you didn't prestretch well enough. ;-)

Remember to take the hide directly from the smoker and brain it in warm brain solution. dont let the hide sit without braining it. HOpe it works well fer ya Hannes ;-)
