Members lindatt Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 Anyone have any idea of how to get gesso off leather that has already been formed into a mask? at wits end! Linda Quote
faceOdd Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Hi Linda, This is just a guess - but have you tried sandpaper yet? I've never worked with gesso in conjunction with leather, but I've sanded leather before to remove a finish that turned out hideous. Very fine sandpaper clogs up quickly, but adding a little water helped and didn't leave the surface too terribly scratched up. I tried to reply to your post over at Mask Maker's Web last week, but for some reason was unable to log in over there. I was going to recommend Leatherworker.net - I'm happy to see you found it on your own! Welcome! BEAUTIFUL masks, by the way : ) ~Tammy Edited March 30, 2008 by TCLeathercraft Quote faceOdd wearable art masks www.faceoddmasks.com
