there are a lot of different brands and suppliers for reinforcement tapes and a lot of different types. I use a brand called IdealTape

The best ones are the Blanchard

Same here. Peter is aware of the issue.

So I’d say it’s more of a semi light product because it’s cocoa butter, beeswax and almond oil but it leaves a bit of a film for a while until the leather fully absorbs the balm. When the leather absorb the product it doesn’t file like a build up or film at all! To describe the consistency the best just think of regular butter 😂 Application is really easy as well, just apply with your fingers and afterwards you just gotta take of the excess with a cloth.

Hi Luca Can you tell more about it like is it a heavy or light product, waxy or smudgy at all? I’m generally not a big fan of most leather care products because they often leave a film or build-up on the surface. P

@Edward Santoro yes. very carefully. its a lot of work but sometimes you need to do it if you don't have a splitter

It will open a whole new world. 😃👍

I'm not familiar with either of these but I can tell you a couple things you want to be sure of. First you need to be sure that the speed can be controlled very well. You dont want something that has a fixed speed or doesnt have the ability to go very slow. Also consider that these have no suction and just throw everything onto the floor. It will increase the price to have a machine with suction but its much more convenient. Maybe someone else with more experience on different machines can chime in with their advice.

yes! always split with a 20-30mm foot!

For anyone still looking at lights. I recently installed two LED batten lights, no shadows at all.

Splitting leather panels is WAAAY easier with a 20mm or 30mm foot.
