Members Norton Custom Leather Posted October 23, 2015 Members Report Posted October 23, 2015 I would say you got a piece that maybe didn't take to the tanning process well. Call Springfield & they will gladly help you. I had an issue not long ago. They corrected it by day 3. That was because the gentleman I needed to talk with was out until then. Quote
Members nrk Posted October 27, 2015 Members Report Posted October 27, 2015 I picked up a back of HO in 10oz to use for belts but it's been a nightmare to work with so far. After dying, the leather gets crazy stiff and brittle and when I oil it up the color turns much darker and never lightens up. I have some W&C tooling leather that I've never had either problem with. What's going on here? Everyone talks up HO and it certainly looks good and has a nice flesh side but I can't get any good products out of it. Could this just be a bad piece or is there more to it? Thanks! professional oil dyes are the best way to go. and they also have much much great and even color i've faced what you describe with regular dyes Quote
