Vinegaroon tutorial

[mlapaglia]

Make yourself a sample piece of tooled leather. Then dip it in the roon a few times. I do 3 times in and out. No time left soaking. Then try the same with the baking soda solution but just dip it one time. I never see problems with the tooling when I roon leather. Perhaps its because the reaction is fast enough that the leather doesnt swell. Its best to try it and see what you think. You could wipe the baking soda wash on but then you have to rinse that off too so the leather is going to get wet. Try a sample and let us know what you think.

I want to try vinegaroon on a tan leather jacket I've had for ten years. It's from some middle-of-the-road clothing franchise, so I doubt it's vegetable tanned. Will it absolutely not work? will it ruin it if I try?

Thanks
