1: What is Vachetta?
1.1: Vachetta is vegetable-tanned, also known as saddlery, bridle, equestrian, craft, or tooling leather, and can be found in bags, boots, wallets, and furniture.
2: Why did Vachetta become Browns?
2.1: When new, Vachetta has a pale biscuit color. When exposed to sunlight or UV light, the natural vegetable tannins take on a suntan color, just like our pale skin.
3: Why did Vachetta develop Water Spotting?
3.1: Vachetta has a lower pH-neutral point than most other tanning types between 3 and 5, and any solution above a pH value of 7 will water spots the pH-sensitive Vachetta leather, behaving like a litmus paper.
4: How to Prevent Vachetta's Existing Cracks from Accentuating?
4.1: Vachetta is fatliquor thirsty more than other leather tanning types, so when existing cracks are apparent, the leather is already too dry of its fat and oil content to take another wet-to-dry conditioning, as empty shrinkage without sufficient fat and oil will further accentuate the existing cracks.
4.2: Vachetta fat liquoring topping up to prevent existing cracks from accentuating and magnifying when leather dries empty of its fat and oil.
4.3: Vachetta is not recommended to be dried from a wet stage without sufficient fat and oil content.
5: How to Remove Vachetta Dark Greasy Stains?
5.1: Vachetta, when turning dark with usage and evidence of cracks in most cases, especially to constant body contact areas like bag handles, will require a degreasing process using Degreaser 2.2 followed by Acidifier 2.0 as a rinse with a Brush 1 and a Eraser 4 for better frictional removal of the greasy soiling.
6: When to Soften Vachetta?
6.1: Vachetta fat liquoring commences when leather is still damp from the Rinse 3.0 or Acidifier 2.0.
6.2: Hydrator 3.3 relaxes the leather before fat liquoring with Fatliquor 5.0 to replenish the essential fat and oil.
7: When to Treat Browning Vachetta?
7.1: Vachetta browning requires a Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction treatment when the leather is dry.
