Ok, so far I've tried twice to make fine leather using rose tinted tanning fluid. Both times I got normal leather. I am wondering how much success other people are having. Is success rare?
To be clear, I am trying to make fine leather by
distilling 10 roses in a steam distiller
combining the otto of rose with a bucket of 10L of cotton seed oil
then putting the 5% solution in a tub with a limed hide.
