Wobbelyness
Hello!
Hope you are all doing well in first days of this year. I braced myself to do some DIY project with vege tanned letter and I am in a bit of a struggle, so any advice will be much appreciated. (New in leathercraft)
I need to get leather as wobbely as possible. It is nothing structural, only aestethics. Bought mink oil in zoo shop and nipple cream (for aplication after breastfeeding) creme (greese) made of 100% lanolin. Try to put one coat of lanolin 2 days ago, still greesey on the surface. Put 3 big and soaky coats of mink oil, just a tiny bit heavier than an original and still barely seen difference in wobbelyness, if at all.
I see the difference while the leather is still wet. One it "dry out" it is pretty much the same sturdiness as untreated leather.
Did I use wrong oils, is something wrong with the leather or a procedure, What should I do?
