drying it relatively quickly might also help it keep the new shape.

Dave, The quicker you dry leather the better it holds it's shape. I set my molds in the bright sun and they can dry pretty much in a few hours..But then it might take a week or more to COMPLETELY dry enough to sew it together without worrying about further shrinkage.
