Gold Foil Touch Ups
Hello all, I am a fashion designer (leather, apparel and home) in California. One of my specialties are leather totes with our logo debossed in gold foil. Can anyone please give advice as to how to fix a poor foil deboss on uneven leather (croc, etc.) and to touch up old logo debosses? When I went over a second time with a new press and foil, it became sloppy as it wasn't exactly in the same spot. Does anyone know of a good way to do this by hand? I was thinking of heating up some hand tools and touching up the spots. But I know I am not the only one who has experienced this. Advice welcome!

I appreciate the comment, Books. I have not paste washed before and appreciate any insight. When you polish the block, what do you use for polishing? Thank you, again!
