I'm fairly new to leather work, but I can't find a practical use for this nasty stuff!
If you search leather work all over the internet, gum trag always comes up. I picked up a bottle to see how it works out.
It looks the same or worse than a water slicked edge. On the flesh side, it ends up coarse and rough. It blocks dye and finish. It seems to just be ruining my pieces!
I'm using decent full grain veg tan. Is gum trag intended for low quality leathers? I'm struggling to find a place for this stuff at all.
