Hello everyone, I need help with finishing my leather products. I made some key fobs that fold and snap around the belt. when I fold to snap it gets wrinkles in the fold. What is the proper finishing steps to prevent this? I did not wet the leather before I folded it over, should I have wet it? I also used neat-lac as the final coat....should I not use neat-lac on this type of product?

Thanks for any help.

Ron.

What thickness of leather did you use, what part of the hide, neck, belly, back etc. Tray dampening a piece and fold it see if you get the same result. Is this Tandy hide, HO etc. Show us a picture.

5 to 6oz from Springfield leather. It was from some extra pieces I had laying around. I will try to post a picture when I get home from work. I was thinking I needed to wet it first ,but I was not sure.
