Customising the Natural Leather
The unfinished natural leather provides an excellent surface for creative colouring and finishing. Apply leather dye, leather stain or oil stain to produce your chosen base colour. The raised and recessed sections of the embossed design can be finished differently to create additional depth and contrast.
Applying an antique finish is an excellent way to emphasise the German Shepherd design. Work the antique into the recessed areas before carefully removing the excess from the raised surface. This darkens the background detail and makes the dog design appear more prominent.
The leather edges may also be bevelled, dyed, edge-coated or burnished to create a neat, professional appearance. Once the colouring process is complete, apply a compatible leather sealer or topcoat to help protect the finished surface.
Assembly Instructions
For the best result, the leather cover should be glued securely to a compatible neoprene insert before it is laced or stitched.
Apply a suitable adhesive evenly to the back of the leather cover and the outside surface of the neoprene insert. Carefully align the pieces, press them together and allow the adhesive to dry according to its instructions. Once properly bonded, lace or stitch through the pre-punched holes to complete the stubby cooler.
Gluing the leather and neoprene together helps prevent the insert from moving, maintains the correct shape and gives the finished stubby cooler a snug, professional appearance.
Why Choose This Stubby Cooler Cover?
The German Shepherd design is already embossed into the natural leather, so you do not need advanced carving skills or specialised stamping tools to reproduce the image.
The cover is also precision cut and supplied with pre-punched lacing holes, reducing preparation time and making assembly easier. Beginners can produce an impressive project, while experienced leatherworkers can add detailed colouring, antiquing and edge finishing.
