If the hair is not loose or slipping you are probably OK to finish the skin.
It may wind up stiff leather though if the pickle or the tan did not strike completely thru.
Let us know how it comes out and next time you will have it correct.

Tanning takes a bit of practice.
make sure you keep good records of what you do so when it comes out good you can repeat it.

Maybe someone already mentioned this. But pH test strips often come in two types, high range, and low range. You probably have some of the high range strips I'm guessing. If that is the case they won't work.

What are you using for acid?
