Mark, the leatherthresher. Quote
Members OdinUK Posted September 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks Mark:) @Madmax, Does the neoprene come in suitable thicknesses? I would guess about 3mm would be suitable. Do you have any recommended thickness? Thanks. Quote Lord Of Leather
Members Chris of WV Posted September 27, 2011 Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 Just out of curiosity, could you possibly post a pic of your edges? I've been wanting to try lining a belt and a strap with some suede, but I wasn't sure how the edges would burnish/hold together...

Members OdinUK Posted September 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 27, 2011 Hi Chris, Here are some closeups of the sample strap. I burnished the edges like usual but didnt spend the time to get a glossy edge, just a rounded edge. It blended with the purple quite well but if the suede was black it would look better. Hope this helps. I now look forward to making some nice tooled guitar straps (and belts). Quote Lord Of Leather
Members OdinUK Posted December 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 27, 2011 An update to this, I tried doing the same with a thin neoprene lining, its about 1.5 - 2 mm thick. Im quite pleased with the results and will post pictures when I return home after the holidays. Quote Lord Of Leather
