jmacharia Report post Posted July 30, 2020 I took some veg tanned leather to a shaving machine at a local tannery after soaking it overnight in water......the machine was able to shave it but the grain side develops bumps filled with air(that's our assumption) and i can't use it like that......please help with any advice or possible solutions....I left a few hides at the tannery to so I really need to know what's wrong before they try shaving it again.

jimi Report post Posted July 31, 2020 Hi, I am no expert but that looks like the paint has bubbled with the heat from the shave, or it is possibly water ?? Also why did you soak the leather all night?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
