    Hello group, I have been having a bad experience with leather that we
    are purchasing tarnishing our sterling silver. We have been doing
    in-house test by putting the leather on a silver sheet and covering
    with 2 plexi-glass plates, putting in a oven set at 130 degrees and
    adding water for humidity. After sitting in the over for a week and
    comparing it to a gray scale and it looks fine. We will glue our end
    caps to the leather and after a months time the leather is
    tarnishing all our silver. Our vendors will claim that the leather
    is tarnish free. Has anybody had this experience in the past and
    this there a way to clean this leather or someone we can purchase
    leather from so it will not tarnish our jewelry? 

Thank you,
Chris Ruiz
