Either you put too heavy of a coat of the leather sheen on or you bought the new inferior leather sheen. There have been a lot of problems with flaking and cracking in the new leather sheen. Fiebings has offered to replace any of the new leather sheen that people have purchased. I guess there is a chemical reaction between the new formula and the propellent they use in the can. I hope this helps out a bit. Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
