I would like any and all tips on how to harden leather. It is soft leather but really I am looking for all methods because I like experimenting. Chemicals or whatever you may know. Thank you.

I don't know much about it.  What are you working on?  If it's something like armor I know of this method though haven't tried it.

My admittedly limited understanding is that rawhides and vegetable tanned leathers are going to be harder than chrome tanned leather in general.

I am interested in hearing all methods it doesn't really matter to me what it is. I am going to experiment.
