Thanks Tony. I have some heavyweight veg tan that has bits and pieces hanging off it on he inside as well. It's only in places but it seems very difficult to get these parts smoothed off. Sanding doesn't work too well but if I cut enough off it seems to improve.

Not that I can complain as it was a special offer so I got it a bit cheaper than normal and only use it for making things like sheaths.

I wouldn't like to try stropping with this side in those areas.
