Patent Leather

[Sovran81]

I was recently contracted to make a show harness out of patent leather. Like an idiot I said sure no problem then realized I know nothing about patent leather other than it is shiny. I don't particularly like it myself and have never learned anything about it. If any one has any tips about working with it such as sewing, cutting, removing scuffs, folding, gluing or anything else I would greatly appreciate your knowledge.
