Members AzShooter Posted February 15, 2022 Members Report Posted February 15, 2022 I'm in the process of making a new briefcase. After cutting everything and gouging the folds I damped them and bent them into shape. When I get the full bend in the leather is cracking around the edges. I'm using 10 ounce VegTan leather for stiffness. I haven't dyed it yet but will be using Tan dye and figure I need to wax it or put some other coating on it to prevent the cracking. Any ideas? Would Saddle Soap help, Leather Honey or something else? Quote
