HOW TO MARK LEATHER?
You can brand leather using stamps. Branding leather is only possible on vegetable tanned leather because unlike mineral tanned leather (with chrome) it will be possible to moisten it.
Vegetable tanned leather must be moistened with water before you can work it. As you wet the leather, the fibers swell and soften, allowing you to stamp (mat) it. The leather is moistened by rubbing a damp sponge over its grain. Make sure your hands are clean. Apply water (using a damp sponge) as regularly as possible, but sparingly. The leather should be damp but not soaking wet.

USE OF 3D MATERIALS:
Unlike handle stamps, 3D stamps are larger and more detailed. For stamps with lots of detail, don't hesitate to hit very hard and on a marble.
Caution: Never strike the stamps with a metal hammer as this could damage the tools.
USING A HEAT PRESS TO BRAND LEATHER!
The heat press can be used to create text markings or foil transfers on many types of leather (mineral and vegetable tanning).
