Diluting Resolene
Mungo replied to Mungo's topic in Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.
Update I followed the given advise from yall and it turned out great. I used a 50/50 mix of Resolene and it is not too shiny after all. I think using a too-small test piece of leather gave the illusion of too much shine. Anyway, thanks again. -

Thanks everyone. -
Mungo started following Storing leather, Diluting Resolene, What size edger for 9-10, 11-12 oz leather? and and 4 others

This is my first time using Resolene so I tried it on scrap pieces first.The first piece received straight undiluted resolene and the second I diluted 50/50 with water. The undiluted was definitely too shiny for my taste and the second was less so, but I would like it to be a little less shiny. Can you dilute it even more and get good results? Thanks

Thanks again.

I mostly make items using the above mentioned thicknesses. I’m considering getting a more expensive edger than I currently own and want to get one for these sizes right now and maybe add others later on. Thanks
-
Thanks. I think I’ll go ahead and try it.

I’m making a belt and I’m trying to decide which finish to use, SnoSeal or a clear finish from Tandy. Considering that the belt will be flexed constantly and be subjected to the weather and rough use by a kid I’m wondering which would be best. Any thoughts? Thanks

Has anyone applied a finish over Angelus paint? I have Tandy Professional Finish on hand and trying to decide whether to use the finish or SnoSeal. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I’ll be using those suggestions in the future.

I tried using wet cotton swabs. It helped a little, but not enough.

Sometimes after I’ve sewn my leather work the threads pick up the dye and appear dirty. Is there a way to clean them to make them nice and white again?

Would anyone happen to have a crossdraw pattern for a right-handed person? Thanks

Thanks for the reply Fred!

I have some extra leather I need to store for maybe a year. I was thinking I might apply neatsfoot oil, let it dry for a couple of days, and then put the pieces in a cardboard box. Would this work?

Thank you both! Very helpful.
