Wanderinstar Report post Posted July 4, 2013 I have bought a 3kg bag of calf leather shoe industry offcuts. Is it possible to increase the shine on the leather? This leather is, on the whole, 1mm thick. Am afraid that I do not know what that is in ounzes. Another question I have on finishing pre finished leather is, can I apply a design in paint on it. If so what sort of paint should I use? Bearing in mind the flexibility of leather and not wanting the paint to crack in years to come. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
