Members Spider Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 Hey Roo, Do you wet, shape and let dry or do you put something else on them to help harden? Quote From the insane mind of SPIDER... http://spiderflesh.com Myspace: Spiderflesh Facebook: Spiderflesh George

Ambassador leatheroo Posted January 26, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 26, 2008 Hey Roo,Do you wet, shape and let dry or do you put something else on them to help harden? I soak in hot tape water until no more bubbles, then shape and dry. the veg tanned leather holds its shape very well after wetting and drying. I have found that the hot water from the tape leaves the leather just a tad harder after drying than using cold water. I airbrush using acrylic paint and spray a coat of sealer to finish cheers Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
