Hi. I have a slight problem here. I used bonded leather to give a bit more form to the outer. I glued the whole bonded leather and not just the sides. I stitched it inside-out and it caused wrinkles. I tried to put conditioner and water for less than 5 minutes, but it’s chrome tanned and fully glued so the water did not fully penetrate. I tried using a home iron in different heat settings with a cotton fabric on top but it’s still wrinkly on the photo.
I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or should I just find a way to put the bonded leather after? I am just a bit worried about alignment of the bonded leather when trying to stick it inside, which is why I tried this. Hoping to get some suggestions.
Hi Nats,
Unfortunately some things just don't work. If you are doing a retourne construction like this then its impossible to flip it without severely damaging and wrinkling the bonded leather which in turn wrinkles the leather itself. I would suggest sellier construction if you want a stiff form.
