Here is a picture of finished project

Will oil base dye penetrate the super sheen I put on it?

Is there something else l can use now to help even it out. It has some dull spots where I tried to get dye on it where it came off

I used black antique first but wasn't as black as I liked so went over it with usmc black. I buffed it after it was dry with lambs wool.

What is best to seal leather after dying it? How do apply it without taking the dye off? I think I just ruined a project I was working on for a customer when I was sealing it and it started removing a lot of the black dye. I am about to throw in the towel doing leather work if I cannot dye it and the dye stays on when I seal it. I was spraying super sheen but it had a lot of bubbles and I used a sponge to try to spread it out to get rid of the bubbles. Last time I sprayed it left spots where the bubbles were.

Thank you did not think about that. Can it be off to the side but still considered in the back?

I have a customer ask for a conceal carry holster for the middle of his back. I have tried to modify a pattern I have that is for a minimal semi-automatic holster. It is for a small block. Does anyone have a pattern they could share? I want to put belt clips where the slots for a belt are so It fits inside the pants.

There may have been post bout this and if so direct me to them. What kind of dye is best used for this? I have been practicing with antique black but not getting the results I am looking for.

My daughter-in-law asked me to sew her buckle strap back on one of her boots. What kind of needles do I use and what kind of thread?

I was looking at my air brushes and the ones I am trying it use for the resolene sealer are single stages. The badger will not even spray water. The pneumatic sprays water but will not spray the resolene. I just doubled checked and I am using satin sheen in the air brush. The pneumatic will start to spray it then it stops picking it up. Does it need to be filtered also? I am using a bottle on the bottom not the cup.
