Members Bobby hdflame Posted November 26, 2012 Members Report Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks for sharing your technique! I didn't think of cutting out the design in leather! That's why I read on this site. I learn so much from what others are doing. Quote Bobby Riddle Sanford, NC www.riddlescustomupholstery.com www.sunstopper.biz
Members Bobby hdflame Posted November 26, 2012 Members Report Posted November 26, 2012 I just looked at your process again. Looks like you glue the pieces together, press with neoprene, and leave them glued together. I was thinking about using veg tanned leather. Also use the press, but don't glue. After drying, I'm hoping it would hold it's shape. Then it would only be one layer of leather. Has anyone tried doing it that way? BTW, there's a guy on YouTube that has some videos on leatherworking. He gave a recipe for softening the leather when molding. Here's his: 50% Rubbing alcohol 25% Water 25% Baby shampoo I haven't tried it yet. Here's his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKtNynEugZs Quote Bobby Riddle Sanford, NC www.riddlescustomupholstery.com www.sunstopper.biz
