Two things I like, besides leather work.

Nice looking saddle!

What an amazing story and life! Thank you so very much for starting this forum. It's an amazing place to hang out.

Acrylic paint! Now why didn't I think of that! Thank you all for your help.

The problem I'm having is that I used the Super Sheen as a dodge for part of the piece and antiqued over it. I then used Super Sheen as a sealer over all. I did the piece exactly like the customer wanted, yet now he wants the backgroung green.

Thanks CitizenKate, my customer just wants parts of the background changed. I don't think it's do able without redoing the whole thing.

Does anyone out there know how to remove Super Sheen sealer? Can it be done? I have someone wanting me to redye a piece that I have already sealed with Super Sheen.

Very nice cuffs, Freak!

HOLY SMOKE, that is amazing work!

I got one from jeff almost a year ago. He does awsome work!

Those are really nice!

The leather is 7oz vegitand tooling leather. I have carved and tooled a pattern on it, then usually put an acrylic gel antique from Tandt. On top of that I airbrush a coat of Satin sheen or Super sheen (also from Tandy). I agree with Strapt about thinking that this stuff was like a plastic coating. I don't want to tell some one to put something on the leather that will damage the finish. Does it actually need anything?

I have started using acrylic dyes, antiques, and sealers on my projects. I would like to include "care and feeding" instructions with everything. Will saddle soap work, or neutral shoe polish. I just want to help my customers take care of the leather. I just don't want to suggest something that will ruin the finish.

I get all my hardware from Ohio Travel Bag. If you need it, they probably have it.

to the forum. Watch, read, learn. No one is too old!

great looking work, and
