How to glue pig skin lining to very waxy Horween leather
mickthedig replied to mickthedig's topic in How Do I Do That?
I have some spare bits I will do some test. Thanks -
I am making a folio case and need to line it with pig skin, but the Horween leather I am using is very very waxy and I am worried the glue will not stick. I am wondering if there is away to remove the excess wax before I glue them togeather Anybody had the same problem and what did you do to get round it? Thanks

I use toothpicks on thin leather and pencils for thick leather. The wood seems to hold the edge paint better than any of the metal tools

I buy 90% of my leather from them. I have never had a problem.

I think we all have done something like this. I made a bag looked great but the top was to stiff and the zipper cut into your hand every time you tried to use it. But its how we all learn. -
Yes that would be a good idea, Have a look at this video

Thanks I will check it out.

Thanks 9tpi, I have been working on a small tote bag that with an oval bottom, so it will stand up on its own. I was having lots of problems working out how to form the bottom, Your bag really helped. Thanks for posting it Also where did you get the fittings for the end of the string? Mick
