I glued some shark skin to some 4/5oz leather to use for an accent/stiffener on a IWB holster. Do you put in a stitching grove and use the overstitch wheel the same as if it was just veggie tanned leather? Or does that mess up the shark layer...

This is my first time working with shark and would like to know what the process is... I know I could just waste some of the skin to find out but sometimes its best to learn from the experts!

One other question are there any tips about final finish on the shark parts or just treat it like the rest of the leather?

For those with this question in the future, I was able to grove and mark the stitching just like cowhide. It was a little harder to see and it seemed to need to be a little wetter but it all worked fine.
