Buckinger Report post Posted September 3, 2013 I have a hot stamp - one of those soldiering iron thingies. My problem is when trying to stamp thin chrome-tanned leather, it curls and warps the leather. I have tried different heat settings, but it needs to be hot enough to burn the mark and that then curls the leather. Do I need a different tool?

shtoink Report post Posted September 3, 2013 It might be the tool, it might be technique. I personally haven't done any, but there have been other that have given some tips and helps in the forum. I was able to dig up a couple videos that are on leather pyrography, I hope this is enough to get your pointed in the right direction despite my lack of personal experience on the topic.

Northmount Report post Posted September 4, 2013 Try reducing the time you have the stamp on the leather. Just want to burn the impression, not cook all the leather under the stamp. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
