Accident-Neat Lac Instead Of Neat Foot

[soaring eagle]

on my last project i used a piece of herman oak craft grade i have had for 2 years and decided to sun it with neat foot oil first....then i didn't treat part of it...

the sunned neat foot took the dye better....

So my next project decided to sun and oil the whole thing,,except i put neat lac on it by mistake(old age,eyesight,meds????) anyways i heated it up with a hair dryer

and neat foot oil and it outside in sun for next 24 hrs..I am building a holster for a second hand shop but still want my best to be there....

Is it going to tool and dye ok or have i got a plain jane project?????

Your order is way backwards. Tool, then dye, then oil, then neat lac. You would be best to start with a differant piece of leather.

like i said aaron,,was an accident been at it long enough to know the order and the fact that this leather is almost 7.00 a sq foot in stead of the less than 5.00 when i bought it,,would like to

try use and i will use it anyway!!

thanks for all in put,,this great place!!!

You can try some deglazer and see if it'll pull the -lac off.

Lacquer thinner will remove most/all of the Neatlac better than anything else I've ever used.......

did all of the above and achieved a workable piece of leather,,only twice as hard as usual,,,got to cut pouch straps,,haven't decide 1 or 2,,gonna use a clean piece of

leather that for damn sure!!! hasta luego
