Hair slippage

Put this piece of hide in bark liquor, topped it up after a few days and then went away for five days. It used the tannins up way quicker than I expected and it’s pretty stinky and the hair has started to slip. Should I put it in lye solution to get the rest of the hair off? It only tanned on the outside 10% or so when I cut into it.

The hair on only slipping in patches so I can’t just scrape it off
