Hello.
I am interested in making computer mouse pads. The product is easy for beginners, but I have questions about the material. I ask for advice from experienced tanners on choosing leather.
I would like to know recommendations on the thickness of the leather, the tanning method, the top coating. Is it worth taking grain leather with an aniline coating for such mouse pads? Or is crazy horse or split leather with a pigment coating enough?
I will be glad to receive any information.
My thoughts on this matter.
Vegetable tanned leather is not suitable, as it is more susceptible to physical impact and can leave dents from the keyboard, monitor legs, etc.
It is also more susceptible to water. And spills of a drink happen quite often. In addition, sweat stains may remain.
Thin leather is also not suitable, as it will create folds and the nervousness of the table will be felt through it.
Thank you
