Members james m Posted May 3, 2011 Members Report Posted May 3, 2011 Hi there, Just finished my first piece and im having trouble trying to remove the leather weld and cardboard from the back. I've only used a light covering but its still stuck on in places, i've tried using a sponge soaked in hot water to try and ease it off. does any one have any better ideas??? Thanks Jim Quote
terrymac Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Jim, Best advice I can give is do not apply any glue to the back or flesh side of leather. Just stick some 3M clear packing tape to the back of the leather, a couple of layers, and it won't affect leather at all. If I am doing something with a basketweave or larger backgound or matted areas, I will then take the tapped piece of leather and rubber cement to a piece of plexiglass. Prevents leather from distorting, and peels right off. Lot easier than trying to get glue off. Terry Quote
