    Default Silver paint on my new Leather furniture!

    I get panicked calls on the from time to time with customers wanting to refuse delivery on pieces because paint is on their new leather furniture!

    Its not paint. It's the gray water-soluable marker they use to trace the patterns onto the leather so the cutter knows how to trim the panels. Most is removed during cleanup but once in a while some remains in the crevices. Just grab a damp cloth and it comes right off.

    Had a piece come in this week with silver marker on it. This is what it looks like (to the left and right of the Dime - which is there to give the camera something to focus on)
