Oh this is Interesting…Good to know ! I will definitely use it as finish thank you

Thank you for answering, thought the maybe polyurethane varnish could be not a good idea Pretty sure it’s the same varnish just different brand name …. Mine is veg tan leather dyed by myself , tried this vanish on a small piece, it’s been a about a month now , I folded it , crumpled it (sorry it it’s not the right word 😂) , put drops of water …and it seems to be really good … is your varnish still doing its job?

Has anyone try Vallejo polyurethane varnish as finish on hand-dyed leather? (Or tooled/dyed/antiqued leather ) I had it from previous different projects (resin figures) and I tried it on a little piece of, it seems good

Perfect, thank you! Never found it before,seems it is well stocked

Thank you!!!! 🙃

I know , I’m Italy but , except for leather,it seems a bit hard to find a good shop with all ,in particular a good selection of hardware , finishes , (tooling)tools …. Or it’s just my googling that doesn’t work 😂 . I bought from PETHARDWARE in Czech Republic but I have to buy in bulk (it’s not much but ) , made few orders from Decocuir from France , from another French shop too… i know there’s Tandy europe , but shipping is a bit much … I have to buy from different shops , cause each one has one thing but not the other …just wondering if there’s a shop out there well stocked … something like , I don’t know , Weaverleathersupply . ( another thing I’m really struggling to find are soles for sandals like Birkenstock) So not really a favorite country, if the shipping is not overpriced , or if the shop well stocked

Hello! Can you write down your favorite shops in Europe , where you can find from tools to hardware , to accessories, to leather care products . ( not leather suppliers, I’ve got a favorite one 😁) - in particular your best hardware shops - thank you

Yeah,watched lots of videos , even this one , and read so many things … and personally I don’t like the Resolene look so much . I’m also more for finishes the still allows you to condition the leather . In fact I’ve been using tan kote - antique - tank kote, and I’m good with it ! (if there are painted ares , I seal only those part first with an acrilic finish -Angelus 4 coat satin - cause I noticed tan kote remove a bit of paint ) But since it’s about dog collars I’m afraid that under the rain/snow/or whatever, the collar can be ruined easily, or that antique or dye can come off … so wanted to seal them in a better/waterproofing way but still be able to oil them once in a while, in order to have a long lasting item for this last dog collar after the final coat of tank kote , I put a neatfoot oil/beeswax mix (like a balm I made) it’s not bad but … I also read about Sno-seal , but it seems like it darken leather and makes it more rigid sorry for the long text 😅 I’m really trying to figure out the best way and not having the possibility to easily have access to some products make it harder. thank you so much for answering ! (Started to think I was the only one not liking Resolene that much 😂)

Read around the internet good stuff about them … actually wanted to go with BeeNatural Leathercare RTC - antique - then BeeNatural ‘leather finish’ , but I cannot find the last one anywhere here I know they may be less “stronger” than finishes like resolene , but seemed to be good products for a more natural finish (now I’m wondering if Angelus finishes may work as Resolene does ) thank you for answering!

Yeah , I know about Resolene , but I was hoping in something different 😅 I just wanted to give a more ‘natural look’ and that the piece could be oiled over time … but it seem like I should go with resolene thank you ! 🙏🏻 😊

Hello I’m new here …I’m working on some commissions for custom leather dog collars…I started working with leather not some long ago , it’s going pretty well but had few questions, if some of you can help and can see the my first post in my profile, any advice would be much appreciated

Hello there! I’m new and started “working” with leather not so long ago (would be a pleasure to see you on instagram if you are there I’m @rehsemporium ) Anyway, I’m currently making some leather dog collars and would like to change something in my finish process. After I’ve tooled , dyed , painted my piece of leather would it be right if I : seal it with BeeNatural Leather RTC antique with fiebing antique paste seal it again with fiebing snow proff paste ? Or (I’ve never used RTC yet so I don’t know how it work ) if RTC makes the paint come off : seal the painted area (I use Angelus paints) with a coat of Angelus 4 coat seal with beenatural RTC antique snow proof ? I’ve used tan Kote as resistant and finish but I realized It’s not really the best for dog collars, it’s not waterproof, it does not actually seal the piece …. thank you so much ! P.S I know that trying things out is the best way to find a good result, but I’m in Italy and it’s not really easy to find specific products, actually, except for leather , I’m buy supplies outside Italy , so before buying any suggestions would be great
