Members 327fed Posted January 18, 2023 Members Report Posted January 18, 2023 A friend who does leather came by to see how I make valet trays. He wanted to know how I made them rigid wet formed. I showed him but he uses only chrome tanned leather. I said I did not think that’s possible. Is there a stiffener to dip/brush on chrome tanned that will stiffen it? Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 18, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted January 18, 2023 The easiest way is to laminate the chrome tan, sandwiching a layer of cardboard in the middle The harder way is to dip the chrome tan in boiling hot water. That will make it shrivel up and harden then the pattern can be cut from that Quote
