I am wondering how can I remove a coat of neat-lac from veg tan leather...the coating has crackelt and dirt or grease has seeped under it...I think...I have now dirty looking spiderweb like cracks on the leather...assuming the neat lac wrinkelt on me..... Is there a safe way to remove some of that neat-lac??? Fiebings deglazer and also Acetone I have been told....? Anybody ever tried that!?? Please let me know if I can save this leather item... Thanks so much James

Aloha james This is laser printed, that image is floating around on club chopper.com....neat trick, but I love carving my leather....still cool effort to bring new life into the seat community!! Aloha Jimbob

Here is a quick few on the new seat combo I did...the new proud owner rides a Yamaha V-Star and loves the seat's....I am shure glad, because it took me for ever to finish this pair. The skirts are HQ 2-3 oz veg tan and the top is a stout firm hand 3-4 oz veg tan. It did wet form very well and kept my tooling to 98 %.....so not to bad for a wet formed seat.... The braiding is from d-brown Latigo and all sewing has been done on a Adler 105-64 with 138 bonded Nylon thread. As requested, the finish is tan...I put on at least 8-9 coats of Fiebings Aussie, then 2 coats of Montana Pine Pitch and finished with a coat of KIWI natural shoe wax sealer... Let me know what you all think....thank you all for looking... Jimbob

I tell my folks to reapply every 3-4 month or bring it in and I do cleaning with saddle soap and then reaplying Aussies...tried Montana pitch but is way to expensive...as final top coat a good layer of KIWI neutral shoe polish does well!!.....not having any problems with stuff getting into my tooling...!
