DoubleC Report post Posted September 10, 2012 I got a whole side of glazed black pigskin and want to use it as gussets on a reddish and black leather bag I'm making. I am so in love with this pig, it's so pretty and soft. I thought it would be stiff. I'd like to use an accordion gusset pattern I have with it but don't know if it can be molded. Any ideas? Thanks, Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Cheryl, The pig I have worked with was usually meant to be liner material and was chrome tanned. The veg tanned I have seen has been pretty thick like 6-8oz and you could mold that. Judging by the soft texture, I would expect yours to be chrome tanned and you wouldn't be able to mold that very well. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks Art. I imagine it was chrome tanned. It was advertised as lining material. And it's soft enough to line anything, really. Thanks for your help, Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
