Abstract

In this work, based on an MSc project, it was found that various conditions of temperature, time of toggling, and and extra subsequent Slocomb staking caused significant differences in area changes, and some subjectively assessed properties of softy garment cow sides. Increasing time and temperature of toggling gave area gains up to 0.8 ft²/side. Extra Slocomb staking after toggling increased area gain by approximately 0.75 ft²/side, compared with unstaked sides.
