DIY Leather Wet Mold for Rectangle 5" x 4" inch Leather Valet Tray

This 3-piece DIY kit set is perfect for making beautiful leather valet trays. We use 1" thick marine grade plywood. It is unlacquered and does not need to be lacquered due to the properties of the wood and glue type. We have used many molds hundreds of time for years with no issues!

These wet molds are currently available in sizes that can fit up to either 6.5oz or 12oz of veg leatherPlease let us know in the "Order Comments" at checkout which size you would like. If you do not indicate a preference in your order comments, you will receive the 6.5oz size. With either size, if you wish to use lighter weight leather you can simply add felt or other material to the back of the leather to help compress the leather fully around the mold.

How-To Steps:

  1. Cut leather piece about 1.5" to 2" inches wider than the tray size. So if making a 5"x4" tray, cut a roughly 6.5"-5.5" leather rectangle.
  2. Soak leather in warm water. About 5-10 minutes or until completely soaked.
    • Natural unfinished leathers soak quickly. Bridles and finished leathers may take longer to fully soak.
  3. Place leather over the inner mold, and then place the outer mold on top of the leather. Push outer mold down with hands or clicker press to compress the leather around the inner mold.
  4. Place clamps on edges of outer mold and wood base.
  5. Let sit for 24 hours until dry.

Works great., thought the plywood

Great Molds

I got two sizes so I could be more versatile with the leather work while using these, I've built my own before but these are awesome. Thanks for having them available.

Gage rating

I can't get a 3-4 and a 5-6 in at the same time. I think my 3-4 is closer to 4 and my 5-6 varies between 5 and 6. In my head that's only 10 oz at its worst. It chaffed the leather and mold clamping ring is cracking. I'm not sure how many uses they are good for but I'm on my 5th. It still works but c...
