JRB Report post Posted January 30, 2009 I was looking at getting some Weaver Leather products (like Weaver Tuff Coat, dyes, etc.) When I went to look for their prices to compare I saw they require a tax ID #. I guess they won't sell to individuals? If not, I guess I'll look for someone that carries Fiebing Bag Kote instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Just a question but did you try tan kote or tuff kote. From what I understand these are all usually the same thing just tan kote is thinned a bit and bag kote is thinned a bit more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand these are all usually the same thing just tan kote is thinned a bit and bag kote is thinned a bit more. Just based on color alone, the only difference can't be thinning, otherwise bag kote would be nearly clear when it is a light brown Though it is true that Tan Kote has a thicker consistency than does Bag Kote. In my experience, Tuff Kote seems to be a heavier duty version of Bag Kote. ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still liking the tuff coat? Or have you not had a chance to try it out yet? Edited January 30, 2009 by MADMAX22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still liking the tuff coat? Or have you not had a chance to try it out yet? I like the TK. I'll try to post pics later. You've got to test on scraps first. Things are working out to where I prefer Bag kote for bridle leather and TK for regular veg tan and latigo. Will soon try TK on chrome tan. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRB Report post Posted January 30, 2009 Is Tuff Kote and Tan Kote a clear finish that can be used w/different color dyes? I thought I had read that Tan Kote was tinted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted January 31, 2009 Is Tuff Kote and Tan Kote a clear finish that can be used w/different color dyes? I thought I had read that Tan Kote was tinted. It has a neutral color. I use it on top of dyes and antiques all the time. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
