1. The dark wax or grease obtained when fish-oils are rubbed into hides and recovered by expression and by washing the hides with alkali, as in the manufacture of chamois leather; the commercial product usually contains added quantities of fish-oils and solid fats (cf. moellon n.²), and is used in currying and fat-liquoring leather; also, a product made from fish-oils in imitation of this.
