    Alligator

    im looking to get a white alligator tack set. or enough skin to have someone make it for me. can anyone do this for a reasonable price could i get this and paint it http://www.4hides.com/Leather_Collections/Pages/Embossed_Crocodile.html#5 and how much would i need?
  3. The key to keep any sealer from cracking is light coats dry between each coat. I use acrylic resolene mixed 50/50 with water. Sometimes I use saddlelac all applied in thin coats and I dry them under a heat lamp. I haven't had any problems with cracking. If your paint is cracking it needs to be reduced with water and applied in thin coats also.

  4. if i bought this in the color natural would u be able to paint it with out cracking http://www.riataleather.com/headstalls-browband/scalloped-plain-8-cheek-blank/prod_225.html
  5. looking for someone to make me some blanks of spur straps, bridles and breatcollar and bronc nosebands send me messages of your prices please
  6. could you send me a message for blanks for spur straps. bronc nosebands, and bridle/brestcollar
  7. hello! do you think this would work i just ordered the acrylic finisher http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/miscellaneous-products.html#finisher
  8. okay so i have been painting leather bronc nosebands for retail sales. i use acrylic paints. but i have been playing around with sealer. the one i have now works pretty well but could be better it cracks but very tiny cracks. the leather is oiled on one side and i paint on the back side of it. i only pay ten bucks a peice for leather so what im getting at is what sealer should i use to protect from water and keep from cracking and should i be using a different type of leather, could anyone give me the same or better deal? i attached a pic of my work!
