I applied it with a foam brush then went over lightly with a large brush to smooth out any air bubbles. Could it be the surface layer of the leather perhaps? I know some leathers just react differently to dyes and finishes. -
I've been using acrylic resolin but I notice it cracks a bit on straps. Is atom wax better? Is one definitely better than the other or does it depend on usage of the project? I'm making a case. It doesn't have many 'moving' parts aside from a shoulder strap. Should I be thinning the resolin? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

Very nice work. You're motivating me to make myself a guitar strap! Thank you for sharing. I love the finish color here too. -
Awesome! -
Wow.. that is just incredible. You did a great job with the sculpturing and the scales really make the fish come to life. Absolutely beautiful! -
Thanks everyone. Should be interesting when it's done. Definitely busy. =o] Yes, I do sometimes apply dyes before I've finished all the tooling. That way I can do the coloring late at night and not disturb anyone. I just don't get close enough to where water would get on the dyes when tooling. -

Something new in the works. Finally started to make a cue case for myself. It has the word 'Moaalii' down the center with a Chaos logo beneath that.© © leatherworker.net

Beautiful work. The dye work really sets off the awesome design. But the clean craftsmanship is really what stands out. The sewing lines, overall alignment, and construction look perfect. Great job! -
Very cool!
