this tippmann boss has been sold but i can not figure out how to delete the post. any help is appreciated. thanks

Tippmann Boss leather stitcher. Nice like new machine that I purchased about a year ago but I just do not use it. Come with edge guide, table top with sewing guide, 4 different sized spools of black thread (one installed), and all the accessories shown. I even added a magnifying lamp to the tabletop where I mounted the machine to help my old eyes see what is going on. I am willing to ship, without the stand obviously, if you pay but would rather sell local. Great machine for leatherworking.

sno seal appears to be pretty good. i've used it on a couple of motorcycle items to good effect. it dose darken the leather but i used it on leather dyed black.

i used sno-seal on a few pieces i made for my motorcycle. appears to work pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B6EMMUU/?coliid=I2HAP3EH4980X6&colid=TZ4UVDWR2KKG&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

i use disposable nail files

it looks like it a punch that would cut short fringe on a piece of leather.

i built an extraction fan using 3 "squirrel cage" fans found in microwaves that sit above stoves. these have the "fan" part completely separate from the motor. As Beehive suggested, you can use a box fan with a furnace filter. However, I am leery of this setup. The air movement generated by the fan causes all the fumes to pass thru the fan and the fan motor is right in the center of the stream. If there should happen to be a spark and you are using dyes with flammable components, bad thing may happen. Good luck

you may also want to look for an airbrush that has a fan tip. airbrushes normally spray a cone of paint. to effectively cover something with dye a fan pattern would be better. I have several Badger Airbrushes, yet another hobby but the Paasche TS is the one that I have for spraying fan patterns. I mainly use it to spray clear on small motorcycle parts. this kit has all you need. https://www.paascheairbrush.com/TS-3AS the smaller 0.25 and 0.38 heads may work with dye with increased dye thinning but the 0.6 fan head should work really well with minimal thinning.

i looked last night and i'm sorry but i do not have this craftaid.

i may have that one. let me look when i get home.

pretty sure this is what you want https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N17M81S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i bought some to make a "doctor's bag" for my wife. good luck

when i re-did my seat in veg tan, it was recommended to use 4-5oz for the top and 2-3 for the side. i found 2-3 got really brittle after dying but looking at your seat that won't be an issue. also, i found that the dyed veg tan will fade quite quickly in the sun. i am currently working on a way to keep dyed color but vinegaroon or iron oxide black appears stable good luck

i have recently tried to use a couple of different top coats with UV blockers. the experiment is on going but the results looks promising.

was this veg tan that you dyed? I have had very bad luck keeping the dye color, green and black, in my motorcycle seats. i've tried several different top coats with no luck. what did you use as a top coat?

there is also this type: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N17M81S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 they stay open when you release and close when you give them a bit of pressure. great for dog treat pouches or purses
