Hopefully, one of these methods can be used on an item you have or are working on.

I purchased a blue suede Geckota strap and turned it into an aged grey strap by soaking it in 70% water and 30% bleach overnight, came out a treat with no loss of quality.

Hey there, how can you make leather firmer with the rubbing alcohol without damaging the leather top grain?

[@rotorrebel8300]

Hi Maze! have any finished products with this effect?

[@chicinthewoods]

I have to weather a ankle length trenchcoat, cant dunk it so i should use alcohol over it?

[@GlitchedRed]

You've probably already done it, but if you haven't, just use a spray bottle and mist the leather with the rubbing alcohol. After a few seconds, use a cloth to buff it in.

[@kapleenkis1981]

Does this also work on Pleather?

Ameshunna? WTF? I can't seem to find this word anywhere on the net.

Whats a tea candle 🦧

[@GlitchedRed]

It's one of those small disk-shaped candles, often unscented and contained in their own little tin holders to keep their wax from spilling everywhere.
They were originally used to in teapot warmers which, naturally, was made to warm teapots. They can also be used for mood lighting or to heat scented oils for aromatherapy.

I have a leather sling coming soon that will be new. I can't wait to try out your techniques to see if I can make it a more appropriate compliment to an aged Carcano.

[@losdostampa4036]

I use the rubbed-in wax technique occasionally but have noticed that the "aged" areas completely fade away as soon as the piece is exposed to direct sunlight for a while. I haven't figured out how to stop that from happening.

[@DrKloyo]

Try a solution of baking powder , the natural will darken bigtime

[@xanafly81]

The leather get so hard and shrinks, how do you work it?

[@DrKloyo]

@@xanafly81 Rapide leather dressing

@@DrKloyo What is Leather dressing?
I have tried with leather conditioner (a lot of it) but very small effect.

Did you try rice

[@chibiquinn4128]

this is really helpful!
but PLEASE wear gloves, your skin really doesn't like alcohol

[@c.w.miles-cowboycookstoryt1528]

Definitely need to speak louder or get a better microphone

[@spjunkies]

Cut your volume up. I could hear him fine.

[@c.w.miles-cowboycookstoryt1528]

@@spjunkies "cut" your volume up??? You mean turn the volume up or increase the volume or even crank the volume up.
