Hello everyone, my name is Johnny Trek and I am new to Leatherworker.net. I have been lurking around in the background for a while and thought it was time to introduce myself and post my first question.
I am interested in making motorcycle seats. Mainly for me and my riding buddies. I have been successful in making a few already. I have been working with leather for a while and I have to say the thinig that gives me the most trouble is dyeing and sealing. I have used fiebings oil and that eco flo stuff tandy sells, mainly because its a whole lot easier to get. To be honest I have had good results with both, but I am not sure of whats gonna happen in th long run.
I deffinately want some advice with sealing. After reading so many posts and looking around online I am more confused now than when I started. I have tried tan kote, neatsfoot oil, super sheen and satin sheen. After using these I am not completely satisfied. I hate the rubbery plastic look that these leave. I feel like it ruins the look of my work. I want it to look just like it does right after it gets dyed. No shine or very little shine. I'd love it if I could just get the name of a product that will work and the directions on how to use it. Fast and easy.
Please help me figure this out and point me in the right direction.
Thanks
