Members hadleyb Posted November 13, 2013 Members Report Posted November 13, 2013 I have just started tooling leather the past couple weeks and have a question. I am now starting longer projects and can't complete the stamping all in one sitting. What do you do with the leather in between sessions to keep it from drying out? Thank you Quote
Members Dwight Posted November 13, 2013 Members Report Posted November 13, 2013 Many people put them in plastic "freezer" bags, . . . I don't have that problem, because once I start, . . . I don't quit until it's done. Probably a big part of why I don't do a lot of tooling. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members Cyberthrasher Posted November 13, 2013 Members Report Posted November 13, 2013 I case my items before starting and wrap it in plastic then place it in the fridge. Smaller stuff can go in a ziplock. As I'm working, I unwrap the portion that I'm working on, leaving the rest sealed so it doesn't lost moisture. Once I'm done with a session, I lightly spritz the back with a spray bottle and wrap it back up to go in the fridge. My work and home schedule leaves me with only a couple of hours to take care of leather, so I've had to find a consistent way of preserving my work without a lot of effort.
