Question: Skive before gluing liner or after?

[WeekendHobby]

Hi -

I'm making my first project where I want to line a bag by gluing a thin leather to the main body (as a liner).

I'm trying to decide if I should (machine) skive the body and then glue the liner to it, or if I should glue it all together and then skive the result.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance!

Moved your post to how do I do that.

Skive first. If the edge is still too thick for your liking, very lightly skive the lining leather a wee bit. Goes against the 'rules' but that skived edge will be hidden by the sewing

Thanks for that!

I tested both ways and trying to skive after gluing was not pretty!
