MOULD STAINING IN VEG TAN
Hi Phil
I have been making knife sheaths, I wet the leather then vacuum shrink it to the blade using a food vacuum bagging machine. This gets the sheath to conform to the knife and holds it in when the leather dries hard.
I notice the leather quite quickly starts to develop a bit of greyish mould staining. However, it doesn't seem to do this if it has been dyed previously.
What, if anything can be done to stop this?
Regards
Bruce

That's interesting. I'd like to see if this happens with distilled or even de-ionized water. Worth a shot I'd say.
