Say I wanted to use a texture beveler/backrounder to texture and also dye it, could I add the dye and mold it from that and skip water? Or dye after it dries from moulding? Newbie nube here. New to leathercraft.
Room temperature water is sufficient. If you are going to paint, first create the mold with water. After drying, you can paint from the top. it would be easier to learn to gain skills in this job. It may prevent reshaping after the paint dries. This is a good way to avoid making mistakes.
warm or cold water? Room temp?

@@goatro What about dying the leather? Before or after wet molding?
What weight leather do you use?
Reply on Etsy was : You can use leather with thickness between 1mm and 2mm. The thickness I use is 1.2-1.4 mm
