Description

Leather for speedy heat forming into hardened and durable shapes such as knife sheaths, masks and armour.  

2.5-3mm thickness.

”HEAT-FORM” Leather Blanks (made in the UK)

This leather has been made to stay extremely firm. It is a mineral based simple tannage with a large amount of wax impregnated to give it a solid but natural feel, without compromising on the beauty of the leather grain.

The wax content can be re-melted under intense heat (such as that from a heat press, domestic iron or heat gun) and once the wax is melted through, the leather can be shaped and heat formed quickly.

Within about 90 seconds the leather will be rock hard again holding the form permanently.

A much quicker and easier process than wet-forming.

For other shapes and sizes go to our TILE Leather cut-outs... at a heavier weight of 5.5-6mm

It makes for a great sustainable alternative to synthetic thermoforming materials which tend to have a high plastic (oil based content). It can be used to make knife sheaths, tool covers, bowls, boxes, pots, masks, armour and more...
