I have the black and the dark brown so please splain me the hot iron or can you post a photo.

Thanks

I just have a fat old soldering iron, I run it over the first layer only to "melt" the coat a bit on the surface, which seems to smooth things out nicely for the next coat.  I think a lot of folks use the side of a fileteuse for that, but I haven't spent the $$ for one yet... so the iron it is.  

At the 3:43 mark you can see one being used here...

The suede is perfect for this.  Really sets off the leather on inside bottom.

I like that you managed to do this without any wrinkles in the suede. . . well done.

Thank you, Venator and Brown.

Here is the latest iteration.  It would be nice to know how to square out the bottom some instead of the rounded shape I end up with, so if anyone has suggestions:

Have you tried creasing it when it is cased?
