JK1990 Report post Posted April 7, 2013 Hey all, I'm hoping someone can help me. Last night I wet formed a pocket for a bag from 6 oz veg tan, and its been pretty warm overnight where I am, only got down to about 28C last night. So I woke up this morning and noticed a couple of patches on my leather where it was pulled tight onto the form below and some linseed oil from the form had bled out of the wood with the heat. So now I've got to try and remove the linseed oil before it sets. For the moment I've untacked the leather and heaped cornflour/cornstarch on it to try to draw the oil out, but I'm not really sure what to do next. I know mineral turpentine dissolves linseed oil, but what would that do to the leather? I would have just tried to dab off what I can and oil the rest of the leather to disguise it, but I'm hoping to dye the whole bag a light tobaccoey colour, and I can't see a pale dye and a dark oil mark peacefully co-existing. Anyone had to deal with this before or have any leads or suggestions? Thanks, James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
