Razmot Report post Posted January 29, 2014 what tricks do you have so your leather does not deform when you are tooling a piece? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Just tape it with blue painters tape, or if you want a slight fuzzy back when you're done- regular packing tape. I like it (packing tape)as I line most projects and want the slight nap left to glue to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverCity Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Same here, I put 2-3 layers of packing tape on the back and go over it with a roller. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief31794 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 I use tape as well but also use self adhesive shelf paper for wallets, Bible Covers, etc. I buy it by the roll and it lasts a long time, make sure it's the "permanent" adhesive one. They are not permanent but the stick well, protect the leather from stretching and peel off very easily. Chief Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chief I'll try the shelf paper also, but hide it from the girlfriend as to not give her any ideas of resurfacing her shelfs..lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
