did it work?

Thx

Nah, I made a pig’s eat of it. Luckily it was all sample pieces. I just couldn’t get it right

Sorry, just a quick one on this, but will the acetone not damage the finish of the leather?

Thank you Peter!!

Oh! Perfect! They are really a customer friendly atelier. I’ve worked with them for over 10years

Hi Sharan, It looks like its dk down or black color over lighter leather...is that correct? you could try and find the matching color and very carefully touch up the color inside the scratch line.

thanks peter - i had the impression that hermes used chevre crispee from relma - instead of alran. the grain on mysore looks more like those on relma crispee

Hi Peter, Thanks for the info and prompt reply. I wish I had a skiving machine. That will be my next big investment. I have been using a French skiver so far, but it is very time-consuming and can be quite difficult to get an even skive throughout. Have a great day!

@atelierpeternitz Do you reduce thickness of entire panels on your bell knife skiver, and without making track lines on the grain side?

take a scrap piece of the leather and use some acetone on a q-tip to see if you can "create" a liquid paint from the surface of the scrap. Then use that as your touch up color.

I did try matching the colour with a healing compound, but it just doesn’t set as nicely as I’d like. Sounds like I might have to start over. fml
