How To Buff brand new veg tan

Recommended Posts

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

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.

I'm not sure I fully understand what the issue is. Opaque?

@tsunkasapa I think its in reference to ' not shiny' , dull.
