Ah, that sounds like the issue. I will try another time and will use something else to line it instead of the pigskin. Unfortunately, it takes so long to make a reaction, I won't know for many months if the new liner causes the same issues. Glad to have the information you provided, though. I'll remember to seal the edges like you recommend too! Thanks for the reply.

Hey all! First post here and I've already got a problem! I'm not new to leather work, but everyone has a first for certain problems, I suppose. I have a little pouch I made awhile back and I left some jewelry items in it for about a year. Come back a year later and the items inside are tarnished and stained. Some are silver, some are other metals. I know the silver items would have tarnished a bit anyway, but you can clearly see that parts that were touching the leather are way more black than others. I used pigskin to line the pouch and I guess I need to use somethign different. Anyone have any ideas what leather might be safe to use in an application like this? I am considering using fabric, but I really want to stick with leather. Thanks for reading!
