Hello everyone, I am using the TAM contact glue , it is similar to neoprene , in my experience when you apply the glue ( not doing on purpose) somewhere it doesn’t need to be , at the same time you don’t see anything , but one year later it will turn yellowish/brown.... I just put some glue on the fabric of my zipper , I went over the limit I needed to put the glue on . it is invisible at the moment but I want to avoid that it turns yellowish/brown in the future ! What can I do ? Thank you in advance for the tips!

I spent the good part of a day trying to find a temp/foil that works with Zermatt to no avail. Anyone else have better luck with this leather?

hello! I am very curious how to achieve a turned edge with a rounded coroner. I attached two examples, but I am specifically aiming for an edge like the photo of the Chanel wallet

How do, all? I wasn't certain where to put this topic, hence here it is at the start. Being a lover of all genres of music, I've always had it as a companion on my leathercrafting journey. Mostly jazz, to be honest, but the dulcet tones of Annie Lennox and Amy Lee are no strangers to my workshop as are everything from Chopin & Enigma to Metallica. I've never considered a tutorial a suitable place for an accompanying soundtrack but boy have I been mistaken here. The sort of Zen-esque tracks on Peter's tutorials I feel add an extraordinary dimension, are mildly hypnotic and serve to enrapture the learning experience and elevate it. Not bad for something that is essentially pure mathematics. Do you include music in your leathercrafting? How does it serve you? And can someone PLEASE tell me what the track from the Zipper Window tutorial is??!!

Hi Everyone all the best and lot's of leathercraft for the new 2024! I was wondering if anyone has worked with Giardini edge paint and Uniters as well and can compare them? I have worked with Giardini a lot. I love their colors and it is easy to mix your own colors. But their products turn bad very quickly. Also I have a feeling that working with giardini and filetuese is not such a good combination. After 6 months Giardini colors turn unusable, they are water-based. Uniters colors are water-based as well I read. So I was wondering if they also only hold 6 months? I have also used colors from Fiebings. They hold forever and also work nicely with the fileteuse. But their color range is poor, I also don't know here about mixing colors. So I am wondering if is it worth changing from Giardini to Uniters? Any advice here? Also where best to buy them for Germany? Thank you for your advice in advance!

Good afternoon! I greatly enjoyed the Gusset tutorial; thank you. My question is regarding the patterns accompanying the video. Are these for practice only? It would seem such, as the size is rather small. In this case, how shall I use the pattern to create a full-size handbag? How can I enlarge this pattern and keep the scale correct? Thank you in advance for your time and support! Anne-Marie
