mixing veg tan and chrome tan

[waynebergman]

I normally use natural veg tan leather and dye it myself. I have been given some very nice leather from a friend that was going to be used for a jacket and also a different batch for upolstering booths. I am not sure if the product I have been given is chrome tanned or what, it is already dyed of course. My question is if I use this gifted product as a lining for my veg tanned hand bags will it be compatable as in will it stretch differtly if a cement one piece full coverage to the other? ........thanks wayne

I would do a flame test on it first

I often use chrome tan to line veg tan bags. No problems

Don't stretch the lining leather when sticking it to the veg tan. Just smooth it over and press it down with a wide brayer
