Tooling Single Project Multiple Days

Recommended Posts

What is best way to tool a single project over several days with leather treated wit Eco Flo Easy Carve?.......do I need to retreat with eco flo each day or will this have adverse effect on leather?...or just rewet with water?...or what?

I've never used the easy carve but I can tell you not to rewet anymore than you have to because it will take away from the depth of the tooling. When I'm ready to stop tooling I lightly spray the back of the piece and put it in a plastic bag or plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, the water content will equal it's self back out so it ready to start carving when taken out the next day. This method will also cut down the possibilty of mold spots.

I do the same as Troy. When I finish working for the evening I add a little moisture if necessary, bag it and put it in the fridge. I lightly mist the front as my leather is usually backed by packing tape or shelf liner to keep it from stretching.
