ecoflo rubbing of the inside(flesh side)

[slalik]

O.K., so this is the first actual purse that i made my own pattern for, I know it's pretty basic, lol, and the craftmanship not so great, but overall i like how it's turning out. However, this is also the first time that I have used ecoflo dye(not a fan) and it keeps rubbing off from the flesh side. Is there a way to stop this? Please help!

Did you seal it? If not, you'll want to do that.

But how do you seal it without making it hard?

There is a variety of finishing products you can use without going to an acrylic sealer. A wax-based product would work well. I don't have the names off the top of my head as I use Resolene for the gear I make now. Do a search; Sno Seal, Aussie, and those similar items may be exactly what you're looking for. Someone who uses them can point you in a more specific direction than I can.

Good luck and great work on the purse!
