Sorry! It may be similar!

No really! I've heard of it being used! Might be worth a try!

I hear KY jelly is good for slicking. I have not tried it!

Handstitched, I assume Y-knot lace gets lace from Packers in Australia but I'm not sure.

I only use Kangaroo lace. I get it from Yknot in Montana. Its the best Ive found.

Thanks everyone! My first time using hair on hide. I got some new stitching chisels (Kevin Lee) and they are wonderful to work with. Thank You!

Wristbands
benlilly1 replied to benlilly1's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
That was my problem. Didn't know the difference between all the varieties of snaps. I'll look into more snaps. Thanks -
Finished up these wristbands for a band in Michigan. Lots of time involved and finding snaps that are easy to unsnap. I had to spread the spring in each socket so they could easily be opened. I used line 20. I think I'll look into magnetic closures if I do any more wristbands.

All vegtan and laced and hand sewn around the edge.

Dog collars - always worked flat?
benlilly1 replied to Klara's topic in Collars, Cuffs, Leashes and Leads
I've noticed when you add padding it shortens up the length. So I add an extra hole an inch out. It just depends on how thick the padding is. Using the Bison, I did not add foam, being that it was thick enough without. -
Motorcycle seat topcoat Questions
benlilly1 replied to Zonker1972's topic in Motorcycles and Biker Gear
I mostly use the Leather Balm. You will never get a full protection no matter what you use. I don't like using anything that changes the color of the seat and some products do. Veg tan is going to do what it is going to do. Darken with age and lose color over time. -

This is a 1" vegtan collar and I used Bison for the padding. Not a concern for me, no one has complained of wrinkles.
