BigOrange, Your wallet sounds about like my husband's...he pulled it out the other day and I couldn't believe how bad it looked. I told him I'd get around to making him a new one...Ditto on what Immiketoo said. Good luck!
Particle, Did I understand you used the Fiebing's leather balm as a resist? I don't think it's use is for that. That's more of a finishing wax. Correct me if I misunderstood. I still think the red turned out great though.
They both look great!!
I believe I bought my 1/4" 50 yd. of double sided tape from Tandy or Springfield. It's especially made for wallets. It works really well. On the package it comes from Sailrite www.sailrite.com
It's $4.95 for 1/4" from Sailrite. They also have 3/8".
