Brands And Types Of Antique Gels, Creams And Or Pastes.

Recommended Posts

I've been using the gel antiques from Tandy and so far their ok. But I want better. A saddle maker that I look up too tells me that he makes his antique CREAM. He says that he mixes 2 or 3 ( I forgot) creams to make his finished antique product . Does anyone have any ideas of what he uses or might use? I have never used anything else besides the gels from Tandy. I currently am waiting for the fiebibgs paste(light brown)hopefully I like it better. I would ask him how he does them or what products he uses but I am pretty shy,nervous,intimidated that he'll get offended or mad. And also his shop is pretty far and I won't be going there for a while. If anyone has their own mixes or preference brand can you tell me info and why you like them. Happy Friday leather workers.

I really like Fiebings antique paste. The consistency is more or a cream than a thick paste so it may be the product the saddle maker uses. Fiebings makes a neutral color that is added to the standard colors to lighten them. I've tried the neutral with both medium and dark brown and it works great. You would need to find out the base color and then you could experiment to find the right mix ratio.
