How to Remove Stains From Leather Work

Video Transcript

"So, now we're kind of going to go back to this piece that we put the leather stain on. It's been allowed to dry for a while. Now I just have a rag, you can also use a sponge, there's actually water on this. What we're going to do is just go back over the whole surface. You don't want to rub too hard, but what you're basically doing is removing the stain and depending on how fast you work and how hard you press and kind of how hard you try, is really going to determine how much of that stain comes up and how it comes away. So, really, kind of the art of this is to not, is to take enough away so that you start to get kind of a contrast between kind of the, the surface of the leather and the design you carved. But you also have to know kind of when to quit. Like I think I'm getting pretty close to a quitting point here cause if you keep doing it, you're just going to sort of take all of the stain away. So maybe I'll just kind of do a little bit more here. Then I'm going to quit, okay, now when that dries, you can see that the design that we made, that we carved and tooled out, is going to have kind of a depth to it because that stain is really been kind of sucked into the leather there and will really cause that design to pop out once that dries because now we've sort of removed the stain from the rest of the surface area."
