Hi!
JUst to start off, I'm not a leather worker, I am a picture framer.
I have recently been asked to frame a very old and intricately cut piece of leatherwork for a client. The problem is that it's not in any way flat enough to frame and I need to get it flat ASAP.
I have looked into it online, and I've seen a mixture of tips including wetting it with 50/50 water and alcohol, then ironing it. Using leather conditioners and also soaking it.
Before I attempt my of this, I would really appreciate some professional advise! The thin, delicate me very brittle!
thanks in advance :-)
