Help! Need Help With Stained Leather. Asap

Recommended Posts

I am making a double stitched shoulder strap for a guy, and while sewing at my machine, which is in my garage (in Texas, un-airconditioned) the sweat from my arm turned a few spots blue/grey!!!! The leather is herman oak.....It will be a natural finish so I cant cover it with dye. Is there anything I can do?! Need to get it done by Thursday. Im getting married this weekend so I will be out for 2 weeks starting friday.... any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Generally you can just dampen the whole piece with a sponge and let it dry back out. Just make sure to do the whole thing and not just that one area like electrathon said.

Using clear hot water and a clean sponge has worked in the past for me.

Thanks for the prompt replies. I just told my customer he'll have to wait till I get back from honeymoon in a couple weeks. Then I can work to fix it or just remake it if I have to.
