I bought this.. clatter racket maker --more for fun. LOL -- can't wait to unbox when I create the space for it. Looking for a Singer 111 --any leads?

Flat... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! That makes sense! thank you so much guys!

I want to line the inside of a croc. leather wallet. However in doing a test piece on scrap leather using Barge, I find the thin liner leather wrinkles at the bend. I think the leather was about 0.8mm --would thinner leather, like say 0.5mm yield better results?

Is there a way to color gum trag? Maybe adding water soluble dye?

Wouldn't varnish -- crack tho the fist time the leather bent? I'll google search and see if they make varnish for leather. Thanks!

What do I use to cover and seal foil logo stamp to inhibit wear? I've tried both Fiebing's Resolene and Saddle Lac spray and while I'm kind of ok with the semi shine it gives the leather it degrades the metallic effect of the foil and --if looking closely, makes it splotchy. And it makes the nice burnt bronze foil more goldish.

Thank you

Does it have a name? This one? https://www.chemicalguys.com/products/leather-conditioner I ordered Bicks4 too -- supposedly from all the amazon reviews it does not darken. I'll believe it when I see it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CS2Q4M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

So I asked the same question to the place in Europe I bought the leather... my message to him: ALL of the following finishes / conditioners / sealants permanently DARKEN and totally kill the light areas as red arrow indicate. Turns the veg-tanned leather the same green as the rest and “flattens” the aesthetic. Resolene Fiebings Leather Sheen Fiebings Leather balm with atom wax Neatsfoot Saddle Soap Fiebings Saddle Lac Leather Honey His reply --is confounding!! "Please dont use anything , its veg tanned and you will damaged leather. Only tokonole or edge paint for edges. Please see photo what one customer do to veg tan with saddle soap"

tHANKS FOR SHARING THAT LINK

Do they even make a sealer, finish, some sort of protectant that does not completely ruin the subtle color variations for leathers like PUEBLO BADALASSI CARLO or the OLIVE - AZTECA BELLY? Everything I've tried from diluted resolene, atom wax leather balm, leather sheen even saddle soap --even Lexol Neatsfoot Leather Conditioner --supposedly "a non-darkening formula" --literally kills the color variations and contrast by darkening the lighter area. Furthermore -- Why even make leather that loses its' beauty first time you touch it with any finish or cleaner?

Good points gents.. Thanks. as a long shot I'm ordering some Hydro and doing self testing.

I';ll check it out!! TY

Im looking for a leather or faux leather that I can use as a tag, that's heat stamped (no foil) with a logo and then riveted to garments -- that can hold up for the life of the garment/washings. Would some type of Chrome tanned or faux leather work? If not... any suggestions how to accomplish that look? I tried https://lonestaradhesive.com/ she replied with "For embossing, your best option would be to source a genuine leather. The leatherette would likely expand and retract during the washing process, weakening the imprint of your logo over time." I seriously doubt any veg-tanned leather would hold up. That's why I was thinking chrome. Some chrome leather is so treated it won't even burn using the embosser. I have some that while holding the emboss stamp against it at 130 degrees for 20 seconds, applying full downward pressure, hardly even imprints the stamp. If I do that to veg tanned it'll burn and with crispy edges in 7 seconds.

Made for a religious friend. Admittedly lots of room for improvement... but not bad for a 1st ever. I rather liked the macabre blood vent hole....
