Lining With Pigskin

[Widget]

Hey guys,

Have never lined anything before and need some advice before I start.

I'm planning on a guitar strap with light stamping and 4 star conchos, lined on the back in pigskin.

Here are my specific questions:

1) Do I do anything other than contact cement and saddle stitch to attach the pigskin?

2) How do I finish edges on the strap? Should I do all of that before attaching the lining? How would I bevel once the lining in attached?

3) What am I missing?

Thanks for any advice!

Depending on the person wearing it, you want to consider a lining resistant to sweat. You can finish the edges before you add the lining, but I would do it after adding my liner.

hey there, after contact cementing it'd b a good idea to get a roller and go over the entire surface to help ensure a good bond between the leathers....also, I would edge after attaching the liner
