Big Report post Posted October 6, 2015 I am working a guitar strap lined with pigskin and I have 3 screw on conchs to add. Would you add them before the lining to cover up the screws or after. Also do you just condition the pigskin or is it best to add super sheen or Tan-Kote ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonhawke Report post Posted October 7, 2015 I would add the conch first, but then I like to hide any hardware attachments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrmCa Report post Posted October 18, 2015 My sentiment is that it should depend on weight and hardness of leather. If you feel that yours is too light or soft, put the screw through 2 layers, otherwise hide it under the lining. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
