rosiart Report post Posted January 13, 2012 I am very new to all of this and I am getting so confused with how one is to finish your work. Particularly if I don't want a glossy look. I am going to try and post a pic,,( it's very rough , I know but I thought it would be easier for someone to answer if they saw what I am trying to do). I am practicing on scrap to learn. I have coloured with Eco-flo Hi lites and need to know where to go from there. I am hoping for a more natural look, rather than shiny. oil, neatsfoot, other finish....I am getting lost in the options. Thanks and I hope my pic works.

cbeatti2 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Hi Rosemary It sounds like you are looking for more of a matte finish. Maybe take a look at this thread, particularly the part about Katsass's "Mop N Glo", which he has been using for quite some time. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=30665&st=0&p=216819&hl=+matte%20+finish&fromsearch=1entry216819 If you decide to give it a try let us know how it works out for you.

Clark Clark, Sorry I was so late replying to this. We have been away. Thanks so much, this seems to be more of the type of finish I was looking for. I'm not really fussy on the glossy look, it looks too plasticy for me. Now to practice more so I can try this finish out. I haven't achieved anything yet that I feel needs preserving for posterity. Thanks again. Rosemary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
