For this amazing process, you need to choose the skin with the smoothest surface( calf).The thickness of the workpiece varies from 3 to 5 mm. At the same time, the raw materials should not be treated with chemicals. Vegetable tanning( a solution made exclusively from oak components) is a great way to do this. After this treatment, the canvas will be able to absorb moisture as much as possible. This feature is a win-win option for embossing. To qualitatively process the skin, you need a special mallet from China, made of heavy-duty material - caprolon.
The advantages of this polyamide include:- resistance to alkalis and mineral acids;
- hammer has a shock-resistant surface;
- material does not crumble and does not wear off with strong shocks.
Chinese copy of this tool is not inferior to the original in its capabilities. The axis of this model is made of stainless steel. The wooden handle( 16 cm in length) repeats the shape of a person’s palm, so it is comfortable to hold in your hand. The structure of the hammer is soft enough that allows the master to work even with the most fragile stamps. Relief details of the pattern are not ground by mechanical action. In addition, the polymer head absorbs the sound waves created by the shock. As a result, the tanner can work in a relatively quiet environment.
