Thank you I will take it to consideration!

At the time I bought it I did not realise its gone off or something like that. We dont have Neat-lac here in UK or any other lac for that matter so I was just very happy that I had that one from Abbey! They sent me my order twice (second time to compensate for leaking cans) and I was glad with that, too. And when I started trying to use it and the color was ugly I just thought I am doing something wrong ( I am still very much a newbie with leather craft. Anyway, it is done now and I am just left with lots of Lac Kote bottles. I still can use it on top of dye although that is not what I wanted in the first place.. Thank you all for pespond! Thank you for the link! I saw that spray but I am not sure if it goes a long way that amount? How many bags can I spray with that bottle? To me it looks quite expensive, but then - I never tried it..

Hi, I want to get a glossy finish on NOT dyed leather - just natural color plus some lacquer. The only lacquer I was able to find here in the UK is Fiebing's Lac Kote from http://abbeyengland.com/ But they had it on "Closeout sale" and the cans I received were all damaged with tiny rusty dots and Laquer was slowly but surely leaking leaving me with 2/3 of lacquer in each can. They sent me some more to compensate for but those were the same. They said the cans have been in their stock on shelves like for ages and probably gone rusty. I had to buy plastic bottles from Tandy and empty all cans in there. Now about my problem. This lacquer I am trying to use on leather turns greenish/grey/dirty color. Very unattractive color I must say. I tried on different leathers but all the same. I tried to use this lacquer on dyed leather, particularly with EF Antique gel and it works perfectly - it is glossy and color does not change. But the leather must be fully covered with dye (antique gel) otherwise once the lacquer comes in contact with clear part of leather or even with very thin layer of dye - it turns dirty greenish grey. And I want to use it on clean leather with no dyes. I tried to seal leather with Super Shene first and then apply lacquer but then another problem here - it gets mouldy in a week or so. Like a thin layer of white fungus in all cuts and impressions. I wipe that mould off and even tried to apply Super Shene again on top but the mould comes again in a very short time. Could someone please help me with this - does anyone know what can cause such behaviour of this lacquer? Is it those rusty cans - maybe rust affected it somehow? And what should I do know? Is there some solution or should I just give up? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, I faced the same problem - these stains partly come off after applying finish - I tried Super Shene, Tan Kote and yes, Carnauba cream. I feel like Carnauba cream is the worst in this case which is a shame as I love Carnauba cream! And no, I do not know the solution to this... But would be nice if someone could tell what the problem is.. Thank you!

Hi Ramrod, I have a question for you if you do not mind please. I also have this tandy Z69 nylon and I have been trying to use it with my machine like a million times and every time I give up exhausted. This nylon is so slick, it winds around the bobbin on a second stitch and the machine stops making warning noise. My machine is not a special machine for leather, I just use special needles and foot for leather but I think this is not the reason? How do you use the nylon on bobins so they keep thread tension? Thank you!

Hi Simon, Thank you very much for the information! I bought a lot of things from your store for the past year, including this laquer you are talking about. You might recollect me as "voodooeyez" on eBay. I like your laquer - the thick one which needs to be applied with foundation - it gives nice shiny and soft coat. I am not using it on my product yet, I applied it in a sample and still keeping an eye on it for cracks and stuff. Just wanted to be sure that it can stand time and last for long. So far(a couple of months by now) it looks wonderful. I tried the one which does not need foundation - I got cracks on it in some time after applying. I still have a bottle of one more laquer of yours which I have not tried yet. Once I figure out which suits me the best I might be your customer. Thank you again! Era

Thank you guys! can not find wyosheen either. Will check Abbey - probably this is just what I am looking for. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am desperately looking for Neat lac or Clear lac as they call it now and I even found a couple of suppliers which sell it. But the problem is the suppliers are in the USA while I live in the UK and Neat Lac can not be air shipped. Does anyone know where I can buy this thing locally and by "locally" I mean the whole Europe or any place from where it can be shipped by ground. I would appreciate any push in the right direction please. Or maybe I am just being unreasonable and there is some equal substitute for Neat/Clear lac? I am using Tandy's Sheen but from what I understood this Neat Lac is something different? Any help would be welcomed please. Thank you! Era
