Members ByNelson Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 I really like your idea, but I would definitely make it less wide, so it looks like you wear the tie and not the other way around but that’s just one woman opinion Quote

Suggestions have been to bury it in cornstarch, floor dry, kitty litter, etc. to absorb the oil. Need to stir it around a few times a day, may take several days. I haven't seen the results from anyone that posted the question. Tom Expand I tried all those on an item. It took forever for any oil to leech out. Best result was with sandwiching the item between layers of clean paper and putting a heavy weight on the stack, to press the oil out. Running thru a mangle to press it would may be better Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Rossr Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 hmmm first off neat idea. Wondering if for a future attempt if there is one....would you use fabric on the upper part to make it easier to tie and have the tooled leather part as the main body of the tie that shows down the front where you tool.....perhaps also instead of oil using some other finish would work better? like pecards or snow proof...or perhaps even resolene....just spit balling here Ross Quote
Members YinTx Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 Or, could maybe use some chrome tan for the neck section, then tool veg tan for the front? Would look pretty cool. Nifty idea, good luck with getting the oil out. I experimented with a piece of leather, added more than enough oil about 3 years ago... still has more than enough oil. I don't think it will ever be back to normal - will always be too oily.

Members Rolandranch Posted February 8, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 @Rossr I'm thinking of using resolene after I get as much oil out as possible. Does anyone think resolene will help keep the oil from bleeding into clothing? Thanks. -Ryan Quote

I dipped it in water and it seems a lot of oil came out but not enough. I wonder if I should dip it in water again or if that would be bad for the leather. Any ideas? Quote

I will do that and let you know what happens. The nfo keeps it flexible enough to tie but at the same time it bleeds into clothing. Hmmm... Quote
