    Here is a photo

    Please post your photos here.  3rd party hosted photos frequently disappear due to changes in the host's policies, host out of business, users moving files, deleting files, closing their account or the account expiring.  When this happens, the post becomes worthless to all future users who are researching or looking for help to solve a problem.

    If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit.  Follow this link for some helps and suggestions.  https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes.  800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate.  Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution.  People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

    Can you go over this with me so I understand it…. 1. You wash the finished item… you say (acid) what do you mean by that? Like acid? Like muratic or sulfuric? 2. You put a good coat of  shine on it either acrylic or lacquer shine. 3.Now you dye your leather. Am I getting that right? I’m confused by the acid 

    You realize this thread is 10 years old?

    Moved this thread to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.

    He is likely using oxalic acid.  Mix about 1 teaspoon to a pint of water.  It's very mild, like the strength of lemon juice.  Dealing with leather here, not soldering metals.

    This is my first time using Resolene so I tried it on scrap pieces first.The first piece received straight undiluted resolene and the second I diluted 50/50 with water. The undiluted was definitely too shiny for my taste and the second was less so, but I would like it to be a little less shiny. Can you dilute it even more and get good results? Thanks

    Your forum is really interesting, i just recently bought a Singer 45k89 and since i am new to sewing machines i was wondering if I could get help concerning the thread thickness that can be used with this machine?

    Have you searched for an instruction manual?  It will have what you are asking for.  Even a google search brings up lots of hits.  Search for:   Singer 45k89 manual

    Photos and video -> https://imgur.com/a/adsgxdh

    Please post your photos here, videos are usually way to large so have to be posted on a 3rd party host.  YouTube is a common site for videos.  Your imgur.com video came through nicely.
