Hi Folks,
For any of you out there braintanning in the UK i would be interested in your views on bucking hides before or after graining. It seems to me that swelling the hide in alkali makes removing the grain more difficult (swollen hide very slippery...) as opposed to simply fleshing and graining first, with no obvious benefit to the finished hide.
Discuss/ Cheers!
