I've seen this topic on here a couple times, but I am working with chrome tanned leather and am hoping someone might have a suggestion specifically for chrome tanned. The project I am working on will be a bin that is cut and folded, so there will be bends and the bins will be used daily. The concern is that since the flesh side of this leather is a light color the shoes and equipment being held in the bins will mark up the leather, or that they will look dirty with use. Does anyone know a good seal/coating that will last and will be effective on chrome tanned leather? Thank you!

I am embarking on a project making bench cushions for a restaurant. I have been doing some research on sealing veg tan leather, and it seems that Resolene would be the best choice for sealing leather that will inevitably be spilled on and incur considerable wear. (This video convinced me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyTg_hfpNUM). My second question concerns upkeep: Is there a regimen I should implement every 6 months or so to re-seal or to condition the leather? Or should I leave it to the natural oils from all the skin contact it will recieve over time? Thank you for any advice you have!
