Members DFWLeather Posted November 24, 2012 Members Report Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I am stamping initials and logos into leather of fairly thick composition; 7-10oz. While I have been primrily pounding the impressions in with fairly good results, I am interested in using gold, silver or color in the impressions (letter or logo). I would appreciate some advice in this area as I believe it could add depth to my work. Your comments appreciated.

electrathon Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 I have a hot press foil machine. I have never actually used foil with it, just dampen the leather and pres it in, works great. It looks burnished. Quote
Members DFWLeather Posted November 25, 2012 Author Members Report Posted November 25, 2012 If it's a hot press, you could use foile for it, I suppose. Which one, and are you happy with it? thx Quote All this work is getting in the way of me goofing off.
