Finishing Undyed Belt Liner

[AndyN]

I'm working on a double layer belt and hadn't planned to dye the liner. I'm finishing the face with Fiebing's oil dye and had planned to seal it with resolene. Is there any reason to seal the undyed liner? If I don't seal it with resolene when I seal the face, is there something else I should treat it with?

Hey Andy. If you are sealing the outer, I would think nothing needs to be done with the liner. 'Course, I would apply NF oil before sewing the liner. If I do a black belt with tan liner, the outer is "dyed" in vinagroon and thoroughly dried. Dark brown belts are made with drum dye shoulders. I seal each outer before sewing.

I also use Resoline to finish the outer and I always finish the un-dyed liner with same. Because I use 4oz. W&C russet skirting, I like the richness the Res brings up in it. I've worked on belts I made a couple years ago and the finish does not rub off....still looks nice.
