Lecture 3 Hide and Skin Defects
Defects on leather
How defects arise on leather at the different stages of the life cycle of a hide or skin
The damage defects do to hides and skins
How defects can possibly be prevented at the different stages of the life cycle of a hide or skin
How some defects can be caused during tannery processes
Lecture 4 Preservation
The reasons for preservation
The different types of preservation methods
The damage that bacteria can cause on hides and skins
