David, Thank you for some insightful input! Yes..the time IS very important. I have had some "heated" discussions with my lovely Wife about this..She says to place the leather into an oven that indicates 350 F and immediately turn it off. I say opening the door to place the tray and leather colls a few degrees so leave the oven on a few minutes THEN turn it off. I am not sure it makes much difference but I have a useless piece of leather I can use for a test. I will place it in the oven and bake for say what? 15 or 30 minutes? To see the effects of the cook off the leather's volatile components-It will be interesting I bet! I will report back if I havn't burned down the house...
