Sealing In Leather Dye

Recommended Posts

i am making wallets at the moment and am pretty new to the game

here is my leather finishing technique in order of how i do it , am i missing any steps ? i just dont want to give some one a wallet that will leak dye on to their pants

1. neatsfoot oil

2. leather dye

3. carnauba wax

4. resoleen

in that order am i doing it right ? also if i skip the resoleen is it still ok ?

I'm still learning but I would add in

2.5 Buff, buff, and more buff :)

and then I do resolene before carnauba cream

I would keep the resolene unless it is giving you a finish appearance that you don't like... if so then you should find something to replace it. Now the people that really know what they are doing can answer :rofl:

What I was saying is that if you don't like the finish you get from resolene then go ahead and replace it with something else. But I like resolene and it seems to be one of the better finishes for water/moisture resistance and protecting the leather (and keeping any excess dye from getting on the user).

If you don't like it then try something else
