CHT Report post Posted March 29, 2021 Hi: Some of the hides we get that are veg tan come in a bit opaque when new. When we want to clean up the image we have been hand buffing with canvas, but this takes a long time. Was wondering if anyone else had found a way to shorten this process? Thank you Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted April 1, 2021 Never had to do that before, except on swimming pool molds , I had arms like Arnie . Have you tried using a hand held buffer like you would use on a car? You may wish to experiment first . Perhaps make a buffing pad using a piece of canvas? Just a thought. Some of the more experienced leather workers on here may have a better idea.

Handstitched Report post Posted April 2, 2021 @tsunkasapa I think its in reference to ' not shiny' , dull. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
