Leather preperation/cleaning before stamping/dyeing

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have a project on the go with a a piece of leather that well has somehow picked up some marks. One of them is from some sticky tape that got on there and others are just grime. I take it to and from work (work on it during lunch) and it fell out of its protective envelope and flopped around in my backpack :( Im partway thru the stamping and will be adding some dye later on..

Whats a good thing to clean it with to try and get most of the grunge off.. This sounds worse than it is .. the marks are hardly noticeable and may even cover up by the dye.

Thought Id ask first tho.

Vector,

Use oxalic acid after you've finished tooling but before you dye.

Hope this helps...

Bobby
