slicking

Recommended Posts

I know that there has been a LOT of answers to the slicking questions but I have one more.

DO you who slick do it after you wet the leather and case it(let it sit) or do you case it and slick it just before you begin tooling? It seems that to get the stretch out it would make sense to do it while it was still really wet but ......?

First, I rubber cement the piece to illustration board first, then I case it (let it sit), and slick after the color comes back.
