TROUBLE...the dye runs horrible out of the skin and the leather is shrunken and like a rock.
SO...I wash the leather until it runs clear. I condition the leather while it is still wet.
The edges are still like a rock but the rest of the leather and hair are fine.
So I work the edges over the back of a chair until soft.
All of this is way too time consuming.
The condition of the leather has only got to be soft and colorfast.
