Members Affaltar Posted December 9, 2021 Members Report Posted December 9, 2021 I made a hat for a friend, he put it in his suitcase for a flight and after it it looked like this. Two similar light stains. Any ideas why it happened and how to fix it? Quote
Northmount Posted December 9, 2021 Report Posted December 9, 2021 Looks like it may have been in contact with a leaky bottle of something. Ask what it was packed with and how. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted December 9, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted December 9, 2021 I agree , it looks like a leaky bottle of something, such as alcohol based after-shave. Treat that panel by washing it down with alcohol or lacquer cleaner and try re-dyeing just that panel very carefully. It'll probably end up a different shade though Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted December 10, 2021 Members Report Posted December 10, 2021 Try scissors ... it's the only way those stains will come off Quote
Northmount Posted December 10, 2021 Report Posted December 10, 2021 Once you figure out what caused the stain, best option might be to use it to stain the whole cap. Quote
