I just went over the leather on mine with Liquid Glyceren and yep paste all over it. It had several gashes in it that I fixed with rubber cement and held together with a clamp for awhile. Not sure if I like the leather part enough to use it yet. When I took the brass off it had green paste under it on the leather side. You made my brain kick in here. Maybe BigSpendur is right. I am not sure what this material really is after all. Hmmmmmm I like the no bumps with your method. I hate ironing :<0) .
