My dayjob is working in a paintshop, and I would NOT do the solvent outdoor wood stain on leather... A maybe for a test with the new all(most) acrylic wood stain, inndoor wood stain, but I dont think it would any good.. but just for trying, trying is fun -But I think the result would be sticky, sobby, mushy, uneven, maybe desolve...? Darn, maybe I'll try myself -but only the indoor acrylic wood stain to test. I have actually tought on wood varnish as finish for leather, (the indoor acrylic products) maybe I'll try this too, just for tesing and fun, I know that we can use our indoor wood floor laquer/varnish on wallpaper for sealing if wallpaper is in front of dishwasher/sink (?) to protect from water splashes. Would have to thin it, of course, with water or super sheene maybe, before applying on leather. Eva

I tried to sand it away, but it took of too much, and when antiquing it, it really looked bad.... it took to much colour, and was a dark line where the ballpoint pen had been... The item with ballpoint pen marks on was to be a holster for a smith&wesson... (I clumsed penmarks all ower...) so I continued experimenting, thinking, well, all of the dyes, antiques, finishes anyways lift some of the colored layers... maybe they will lift the blue penmarks too? the thinner didnt do anything.. the antique waterbased didnt do anyhing eighter, so I thaugt, well, then I just have to dye the whole thing black... and I tested on the scrap, and at first I saw the blue pen mark shining through, but then it suddenly wanished! And so I tried agan with the tan and redbrown, and it lifted away the penmark at almost 100 persent! WOHOOO!! So the spirit dyes can lift the penmark away, it may not, but it can will post the item when completely finished :D Thank you so much for helping me Eva

Where Do Rolls-Royce And Bentley Get Their Leather?
Erystawi replied to Acceptable's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
About 50 % of the norwegian leather is sold to luxury tanneries in Europe, (Italy, France, Belgium and so on) for the exclusive brands. In Norway it is forbidden to use barbed wire on all pasture/outfield, and we dont have much pests/bugs. Norway has got the best leather in the world -
Try fat leather fat, dont know what brand you use normally (or make yourself, maybe) I am used to brand called Gold Quality leather fat. Eva

I often do the acrylic paint before the stain, covering the acrylic with a resistant so it does not absorbe the stain or antique. Maybe experiment with have a resistant over stain before painting areas? Eva

Edge Finishing - A Contradiction By Fiebings?
Erystawi replied to tinkerslane's topic in How Do I Do That?
Switch to R.O.C edgekote (R.O.C. kantfarve) never ever had any problems, eighter way burnished (but I've not ever used gum tragakant, so cant tell if it sticks to it too) ROC is a danish brand, and the edge kote dries in minutes, giving a waterproof edge, shiny and strong. -
