Casing leather isn’t necessary with our Pro Carv concentrate carving solution. Added to water according to directions. Simply wipe it on the leather, let it set for a few minutes then begin carving, stamping or tooling. It lessens the drag on your tools and carving knife. For forming leather as in sheath’s or saddle seats or saddle forks or swell dip the leather in the diluted Pro Carv to saturate.  This will make the forming a lot easier.

During cutting or carving with Pro Carv, as the surface of the leather dries, there will be more drag on the knife. It is recommended the surface be given a sponging of solution at that time to restore easy and smooth carving. In addition, occasionally dipping the blade in the solution greatly enhances the knife's performance.
