The weekend projects.
First - the scratch watch motivation to try out the Clyde’s leather dying kit that has been on the shelf. Partially inspired by the photos posted in the jwolfe’s thread.
Turned out pretty good! They are a bit shiny from the Clyde’s conditioner but that is getting more subtle. The scratch is much harder to see now which is what I was hoping.
Also - post my field distributor and WUR rebuild I had mentioned cold start being an issue and it was another excuse to teach myself how to test system and control pressures. All are listed below and certainly are low across the whole spectrum - other than residual which appeared to be in spec. That cold control pressure I would assume tracks with cold start issues! Hoping this is a simple mixture adjustment. Stay tuned.
