Members Windrider30 Posted July 8, 2017 Members Report Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Ok word of warning on baking soda, first what you do is you dip your leather into the baking soda for ONLY a few seconds no more than ten, this is to actually stop the vinegarroon from going darker, second any longer and you risk actually burning the leather which will crack it like mad and make it useless, the easiest way I have found is to put the piece some where the air can get to it (preferably outside) for about a week, yeah my last piece took nearly a week before the smell vanished. Edited: Meant to say dip the leather in the baking soda for only a few seconds, the longer you leave the leather in vinegarroon the darker it gets. But you really do not want to leave the leather in the baking soda and water mix for more than a few seconds. Edited July 9, 2017 by northmount Corrected Quote
