Thanks for the response JLS. Yes I'm using veg tanned leather, and the final shape I'm after will resemble a U shape. Can you say a little more about how you glue layers 'on a curve'? Maybe an alternative plan would be to glue the lining at the same time as the forming. The glue would take longer to cure but I guess that might work ... Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

Nobody? :-(

Hi, I'm working on a project which needs lined leather (I'm using pigskin for the lining) and requires a little moulding. Not full wet moulding - but wetting the leather so that it retains a bend. Do I line the leather first or do I have to do the wetting and moulding before lining? All the tutorials I've read mould the leather first - but they're usually making unlined bags so I'm not sure if the tutorials are relevant. If I line first (this is what I suspect is the right way to go) do I need special adhesive? I have a PVA type leather adhesive from Tandy or Evo Stik Timebond in my workshop - any recommendations? All wisdom welcomed - I could use trial and error but it seems like a terrible waste of good leather. Cheers Huw
