midgardworkshop Report post Posted August 19, 2023 Hello all! I'm making a costral/canteen for my wife and I'm looking at sealing it with melted beeswax (5oz veg tan) after wet-forming. Will acrylic paint adhere to waxed veg tan after it's sealed? I use Angelus leather paint. Cheers in advance Nathan Carlson Midgard Workshop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heartless Report post Posted August 19, 2023 waxing/sealing should be the very last step paint will not adhere well to a waxed surface - of any kind... wood, leather, metal.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
