i’ve been buying Hermann Oak veg tan for the last two years – it’s awesome leather. My method to prevent too much shrinking or stretching during tooling and drying is to rubber cement the leather to some Cold Press Illustration Board – this has worked well. Now the problem, I’ve had significant shrinking with the Hermann Oak using this same procedure. What methods do you use to prevent excess shrinkage? I cut a cell phone case to shape and it shrank 1/4 inch when it dried. Thank you!
