The finish is as nice as any I have seen. I have been trying to find a perfect finish for my holsters and this looks like the perfect solution. I have been for a couple of months been using a water based polystyrene to seal the goods and it’s OK but stiffens the parts of the project I don’t want to be stiff at all. I am wondering though, and will try to dye some leather before dipping it in your wonderful homemade solution. Have you any tips on that you could pass on. Again that shoulder holster system is very easy to look at. Can’t wait to try it.
