Applying vinyl to leather?

Recommended Posts

I have a guy that came to me asking me to make him a decal he can put on his leather gun case. Can this be done? I have never heard of applying vinyl decals to a leather surface. He says a buddy of his has had it done.... Is there a certain type of vinyl that would need to be used for this type of application. Any help with this one would be great.. Thanks in advance.

I applied regular siser to leather as a sample for someone and it bonded fine but the press flattened out the grain of the leather.

Leather "grain" is embossed under pressure and the combined heat and pressure from my press was enough to reverse that effect.
