Wow 51 views, in my defence I have trawled the whole site looking for an answer and I dont seem to be able to find it. I have used antique stain (water based), and then applied aussie leather conditioner, I actually applied another light coat today (brings it to 3). The finish looks lovely, I'm just concerned about durability, and the stuff rubbing off on peoples clothes, or it allowing the dye to do that. I'm sorry if it seems like such a nooby question, but I cant find the info I need to tell me if this is enough for a finish, or if some sealer should be involved somewhere along the way. I think I read just about every post going, with numerous different searches, and each one gave different information or opinions. I'm now totally confused

Hello everyone, I'm very new to all this but am loving the adventure. I have just made a belt and some wristbands for some friends whilst I am learning. I have used antique stain on all of them to colour, and so it would make the tooling/stamping stand out, ;and then (as advised when I said I didnt want a very shiny finish) used aussie leather conditioner on top. I have given it 2 very light coats and have buffed it up and I love the finish, it looks to me like leather should, sorta mellow-ish if you follow me, very pleased with it. The only problem I have now, is that i was wondering if only using this will mean thatthe colour may rub off in use? I'm told the Aussie will make it waterproof which is what I wanted, but should I be thinking of a further finsih (sealer?) on top; or is what I have done adequate. I'm really pleased with the look of it as it is, but hoping someone can advise me just so I know, Many thanks in advance
