Members shadow2511 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Members Report Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) When I said corosion I was refering to some white corosion which I believe came from the tools being in a box with leather dye thinner which had over the years leaked onto the handle of the swivel knife I used. I was assuming that maybe that had flaked off and mixed with the moisture of the leather. I was just embarrassed that I had let my tools get in this condition and didn't want to expand. And yes Joanne they are great! They hit it right on the head and told me how to fix it. (and with something simple I could easily get from the grocer). There is a lot of experience and knowledge on this forum that I will continue to tap into if I run into trouble with a project. Thanks again everyone! By the way...my son loved the picture frame!! He didn't even realize that I had made mistakes and I didn't point them out! Thanks again!! Barb Edited December 28, 2006 by shadow2511 Quote
Members WorldOfLeathers Posted October 9, 2015 Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, Need all your expertise advice and help. How do you get rid of these dark spots on my semi Aniline full grain leather cushion? They have penetrated the leather surface and I am not sure if they are mold spots. I tried using the tip of a sharp blade to "dig" them out but without success. Many thanks in advance. Edited October 9, 2015 by WorldOfLeathers Quote http://www.worldofleathers.com
Members Guitarist762 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Report Posted December 4, 2015 Do what many people do for old axe heads, soak them in vinegar. The acid removes the rust, and then puts a patina on the metal that helps slightly with rust prevention. Other than that put beeswax on your tools to keep them from rusting. Quote
