dean_redzic Posted October 18 Posted October 18 So I have been bending in suede wraps...but today I decided to use my chrome tan wraps, and it felt like I was cheating. Bends felt 10 times easier, I can't believe it. Night and day difference with suede I have veg tan wraps, are they even better again? How on earth do you break them in? They are so stiff I can't get them tight against the bolt. I have spent a lot of time wrapping a bolt again and again in an effort to break them in...but they just won't loosen up. I haven't even tried to bend in them, just because I can't get them tight. Is there a way to break them in Quote
Austin Seitter Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Oh yes vegtan is way better. The squishiness makes the final crush suck a bit more but that’s where crush pads come in and the benefits for the kink and sweep make them my favorites. I break mine in by rolling them repeatedly under my feet both long way and short as well as rerolling them on the opposite side the same way. 2 Quote
WorksinaPinch Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Do you guys just buy veg tan leather scraps off eBay or is there a good place to buy some wraps? Quote

The ones I use now are cut from a sheet I bought on Amazon but Eat Chalk Get Big will be selling them in the same size Phil McMahon and I use once the store opens back up. Normal size is 4x10” but mine are 5x12” and those will be listed as XL wraps 2 Quote

WorksinaPinch Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Hey @Austin Seitter what thickness in normal? I see 2mm through 3.4mm. Quote
Austin Seitter Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I wanna say they’re usually 2-2.5mm thick but I’m not 100% certain on that. Mine are 3.2mm though. 1 Quote
