I have worked out a process of microwaving wet leather while still in the mold to dry and cure it. It works for all types of leather from veg tanned to latigo and you can go from wet molding to ready to sew in as little as 10 minutes. The microwaving heats the leather up and evaporates the moisture so it drys fast and it also cures it so that it retains its shape well once out of the mold. The method works especially well for molding latigo which is difficult to form using more traditional methods.
