Moisture problems with canteens

Timbo, thank you for sharing that info.

Thanks, Timbo, for sharing your technique for covering the canteen caps. I've made about 20 leather covered canteens, which sell pretty good in my area. (It seems that almost everyone with a horse and a western saddle NEEDS a leather covered canteen!) Your technique seems a lot simpler than how I was doing it.

Once the leather cap is molded and dries, do you do anything to keep it permanently attached to the plastic cap? I've tried drilling tiny holes in the rim at the bottom of the plastic cap and stitching the leather there, but that is pretty tedious.

Again, thanks for sharing!
