radar67 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 I cut resolene 50/50 with water and apply after a good cleaning with oxcylic acid. Apply the sealer after everything has dried. I let the first coat of sealer dry, add a coat of mink oil, then add another coat of sealer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redcell7 Report post Posted September 9, 2011 so cut it 50 50 and use mink oil (does the mink oil get to saturate the leather since it sealed it ) and what purpose does it serve ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redcell7 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 also i am not completely hooked on resolene it just works better out of the others i have tried to seal the leather but i am open to any type of sealer that works as long as it doesnt flake off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sara Chang Report post Posted September 13, 2011 Hello friends, I would like to say, the best way to clean your guitar is with a warm, damp cloth. This will remove harmful chemicals. Your guitar is coated in the highest-grade finish available and is sensitive. Any type of solvent, especially those found in plastic, vinyl and leather straps, will mar the finish, as will alcohol, citric acid, aftershave lotion, insect repellent, and a number of related substances. Perspiration can also damage your guitar. To Polish it, use the special Martin Polish and a clean Martin polishing cloth. We recommend wiping down your instrument and strings with a soft, dry cloth before storing to remove harmful skin oils. Products containing silicone should not be used.
