Thank you Dwight, I will try this. I have a vacuum pump from an old EGA machine (I'm a mechanic) My wife also thanks you (she is a Tandy manager herself) for the advice that will also help her customers.

I have recently run into a gentleman on DeviantArt that is doing amazing things molding leather. He has developed some kind of process that makes his leather so pliable and moldable that it acts like living flesh and cures almost rock hard. The results can be seen here: http://griffinleathe...t.com/#/d4c8d2t and here: http://griffinleathe...t.com/#/d4c8cy6 he said he used a vaccum table to form it, and that the original was placed under the leather. It is amazing the detail he has gotten to show through the leather with this process. Another customer of my wifes molds pouchs and also uses some kind of miracle treatment to prepare his leather for molding. Both wish to keep their formulas secret and I respect that, but at the same time I wish to duplicate their results. My wifes customer gave her a clue in that he told her that everthing he uses are typical household products. Anyone have any "secret" additives that make leather more pliable that fall into the "household items" catagory? Any help here is greatly appreciated.
