sheowahya Report post Posted September 8, 2007 Hi everyone! I just bought a kit and when I got it home and opened it up I found a line down the middle of the leather about 1/2" wide where it looks like it was exposed to the sunlight for too long. Is there anyway I can get rid of this? Or minimize its presence in the final piece? Or should I just scrap the leather and cut my own? All suggestions are welcome.

Johanna Report post Posted September 8, 2007 Marilyn- take it back to the Tandy store and ask for an exchange. You could maybe work around the sun spot, but why? Chances are that the area where the sun has darkened the leather is not going to accept any finish like the rest of the piece. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Sheldon Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Agreed, unless you're planning on dying it very dark, there's nothing that can be done to minimize it. Veg-tanned leather will tan in sunlight. It's why I boarded up the window in my workshop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
