What is the best way to stretch leather.. I have to stretch it for a Zippo lighter will fit into this pouch?

Dampen the leather, and get it warm, then slowly stretch it out to fit.

When I was in the Army the best way I found to break in a new pair of leather boots was to get them soaking wet and wear them all day (hot water sprayed on them all day while pulling KP) at the end of the day rubbing them down well with mink oil. I would say soak the pouch in hot water while putting something similar in size to the Zippo into the pouch. Do this slowly over time (I'm guessing 24 to 48 hours) when you can get the object all the way in take it out of the water and oil it well, I recommend Mink Oil. Don't take the filler object out until the leather is thoroughly dried and well oiled or it will shrink back up on you. Hope this helps.

You can stretch it some, but i don't think you can stretch that much.

Try wetting the pouch with hot water and while it is still soaking wet put the Zippo inside it and let it dry. Works to make leather shoes fit.

wet it and wedge the zippo in it, if you don't want the zippo wet, use one of your kids blocks or something the same size.

while the leather is wet and the whatever is inside it, heat it up, slowly, just place it in the oven on a baking pan on warm and turn it every 5 minutes or so until its dry

It took me 4 years to stretch my ears yet as quickly as I took my 5/8th inch (relating to the dimensions of a dime) spacers out it purely took them a pair of months to clearly shrink circulate into opposite to an exceedingly first rate 2 gauge (relating to the dimensions of a #2 pencil). i don't comprehend why different people do it. It replaced into style of an test in how lots my pores and skin ought to stretch. Like pushing your self to run a marathon or lifting weights to work out how huge your hands can get. i do no longer remorseful approximately it. I took them out with the aid of fact they does not stretch any bigger and that i've got been given bored with folk asking me if it injury.

Stretch it while it is wet. Use stretch leather products or water.

Alcohol.

If water doesn't work, you can get "Shoe Stretch" at any shoe store.

I know people use alcohol to strecht their shoes... maybe that will work

get it wet
