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!
