Thanks! I tried to wipe done the darker areas with alcohol but that didn’t really work. I ended up using a piece of sponge to add more dye to the lighter areas & buffing really well with an old tshirt. I’d let dry them repeat a few times. I think she will too! Thank you!

Thanks so much!!!

Thanks so much!!!

Thanks! I appreciate the advice! I'll probably fold over the lining then stitch.

Thanks so much!

I was actually able to salvage it! It’s not perfect by any means but it was made with love! I used Chicago screws so I can take the binder part out & line with velvet. I’m almost done ! Thank you all for all your time & tips!

I don’t know why I’m not getting notifications of replies so I’m just now seeing these. Thanks for your help! I’m going to look into that & try it next time! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Hello! You all helped me rescue my blotchy 3 ring binder album & I have one other question. It’s still pretty stiff in places & I am wondering if I can condition the flesh side before I apply the contact cement & velvet lining fabric? I want to have good adhesion for the liner. Also, will the liner stay in place with just the glue or do I need to stitch the edges? Thanks!

Thank you!!!

I was wondering that! Thanks!

Thank you all for your time & suggestions!

Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Thanks so much! Do you suggest soaking the leather in the solution?

Thanks so much!
