LNLeather Report post Posted April 25, 2012 Guess What? It's raining! Have you considered giving your leather a sun tan – Before you tool? That way you could leave your leather out in the sun on a sunny day and not have to wait for the rain to go away. Can anybody think of a reason why not to Tan before you Tool?

Sylvia Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I wonder of one of those lamps from the 70s would do the same job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LNLeather Report post Posted April 28, 2012 HI Sylvia. What (70's) Lamp might that be? I asked a question about light bulbs quite a while ago Will A Light Bulb Replace A Sun Tan? (11/29/2011) and at that time I decided not to spend a bunch of money trying out lamps and light bulbs. I make a lot of coasters and I prefer the "Sun Tan" Look and so far I have just been patient, waiting for the sun after all tooling is done. Sooo, a couple of weeks ago I had accidentally left some rounds of leather out and they darkened up nicely and then I tooled them. After I was done I was thinking I just might have solved my problem. I haven't read about this anywhere, so I thought I'd just mention my "brain storm"... and ask if anybody can think of a reason why not to Tan before you Tool? This is going to save me a lot of time, not having to wait for the sun when I need it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
