Finishign An Untooled Belt

[Chavez]

Hi!

I'm about to finish a lined brown belt, so I'd appreciate some finishing advice.

For the outer grain side:

Would tan kote be ok for a belt or am I running a risk of getting it wet and having the dye bleeding all over my clothes? Would bag kote do a better job?

Thanks!

Hi Chavez:

There is a UK fellow that did a side by side comparison of different finishes. Here is the video.

Thanks Sylvia,

I'm sure I've seen this one before actually=) Quite a weird choice of finishes and he doesn't cover popular stuff like bag kote, but I've picked up a lot of info from it a few months ago.

I'm just wondering what belt makers would say, cause I've been wearing a black belt finished with oil & carnauba and I'm not complaining about bleed, but I've never used tan kote before, so I don't know how its going to be on a belt =)
