One needs to make sure there is no air in between the leather and the bonded. Also to make sure there’s good adhesion between the two and no wrinkles. As for the paper this prevents the leather from sticking to the bonded leather prematurely.

Same to you.

Thank you for your insight Peter, I wish you a great summer and all the success with your Libby Tote line ,

The reason I use that method instead of a roller is because a roller can stretch the leather. Think of pizza dough and using a roller. It’s spreads it out and makes it bigger.

Good question.. I have the same curiousity. I plan to buy a small batch from the 1804 and test it. After I could tell you more.

Here is an update on the wallets: I think for the next wallet, the Orange thread will be M40 instead of M30

Hi TC, An important factor to consider in all this is if the lining is getting completely glued down or kept loose. This changes everything. Generally I do not fully glue down linings with the exception being sometimes the bottom because I want to to be stiffer or gussets in which case the lining needs to be much thinner. For exterior leather I generally use 1.8-2.4mm total with reinforcement(if needed). This all depends on your leather type as well as the effect you want from your finished bag. Then the lining I use is between 0.8-1.2. You mentioned 0.5. This is far to thin to use as a loose lining and should only be split so thin if it's going to be fully glued to the exterior. If you are making something that is fully glued then best is to test with scraps to see how the hand is once all layers are glued. P
