I'm no expert, that's why I hang around here, so I can learn. Thanks again.

Me too :)

It seems there is no right or wrong way, every leather is different and so the results will be. As long as we're happy with the result.

It's all experimentation and finding what's best for YOU. We have lots of guidelines to get you started in discovering your process, but in the end it's all trial and error and destroying all those test and scrap pieces!! :)

I will say this...if the leather isn't consistent in wetness there will be areas that are dryer and the effect of the tooling isn't consistent. That's why I wait for the bubbles to stop. Just my experience.

Agree. I've tried casing and simply wetting, and found the casing is way better, I've just been wetting when messing around with tools. e.g. I bought a rope tool and took quite a few goes before I worked out how to do a line of them. Now I just need to perfect the casing, hence the questions about wetting them. more practice is still needed.
