<p>I also wanted to add... be very careful with solvent based glues! These really seem to lift the foil off some leathers :(. I always use water based PVA glue for metallic leathers :)</p>

<p>I have this problem too but only with some metallics. </p>
<p>I have found that most metallic leathers have a silver foil base and then they are coloured over the top with a tint colour. When excess rubbing occurs or glues come into contact with it, i find it may lose its coating.

The best advice i have is to have a can of silver "Design master" spray or something of that equivalent to give it an extra coat. Another way may be to treat the leather with a clear coat of paint however this may affect the usability of the leather for use on some projects. I also have found plenty of other silver leathers where this has not been a problem at all. At the end of the day it will come down to who made it and the processes they used to achieve the desired result. </p>

<p>I have had the same problem with one of the pieces of rose gold leather I have. It's not all pieces though. I think maybe some pieces just rub away? I'm not sure why... And don't know of any way to stop it happening! Would love to hear if anyone does. Cessiah x</p>
