s.t. Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I would like to age one of my new leather straps, to make it look real old and vintage. Has anyone got tips how I get the best results in the shortest time? (I thought about salt water, UV Rays, heat, ect. ) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maas Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Yop there was a tutorial somewhere on how to age the strap of a PAM... I need to find a link.but it was not here (sorry) http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=30...ight=pam+bleach Edited January 5, 2009 by maas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.t. Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hey guys, Thanks for the reply. What I tried was boyling salt water, sandpaper, fire ( ...ok just a candle) and dubbin. Worked out pretty well. The "not so cheap" band now looks like i've been fighting on the battlefield, but at least like I have worn the strap for the last 10 years. I'll post pics later on. Bleach sounds great. I just started to age that strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
