Default Bleaching Leather ?

With so many people on these forums of wide and varying talents (some best left untold), has anyone ever bleached leather, like from a dark grey to a light grey, so anyone got anything :

I cant say I have ever heard of anyone doing that - bleaching leather - but I have to say, it doesnt sound like a good idea at all!

it'd be a good idea to try, just get an offcut of leather and try using white king. if that isn't strong enough you need to find some hypochloric acid, thats the active ingredient and use that. in normal white king there is about 8% hypo to water ratio. if your using hypo dont get it on your clothes, or use old clothes, because it eats through them.
