Members DieselTech Posted December 28, 2023 Members Report Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) Guys & gals, I have been wanting to try Fiebings Pro Dye, cause it looks like good stuff. My question is: What Seal or Top coat sealer options do I have? Most all top coat/sealers will freeze. So that wont be a option till spring. Can I use the aerosol Fiebings Leather Sheen or the aerosol Fiebings Saddle Lac? What options do I have? Thanks any & all help will be appreciated.

CFM tsunkasapa Posted December 29, 2023 CFM Report Posted December 29, 2023 Yes, acrylics will freeze. But unless you are having them shipped this isn't an issue. Once it is applied and dry, freezing isn't a problem. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

So I was trying to come up with something to use. go to the store and buy some acrylic floor wax, mix 50/50 with water. I'm sticking my neck out here the last post from a guy who wanted sealer info didn't really want help. Many of us suggested using this mixture and he went kind of crazy on us. It is widely used as a sealer but its your choice. If you don't want to try it then I'm out of suggestions. Mop and glow or similar, i use pledge future floor wax which works fine too.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Lol I think I read that article, where a person went A-wall over other options & suggestions for a leather sealer. Lol I'm not that guy! I was going to ask about mop & glo, but was unsure. I'll look next time I'm in the store. I got a quart of tandy eco-flo super shene sealer, I just dont know if it will work with the fiebings pro dye. Thanks I appreciate your time & knowledge. Quote

Yeah I learned that 1 the hard way. Had a older side of leather & it took on a deeper dye color than the newer side of leather I cut a few remaining pieces out of to finish the project. Nothing horrible, but you could tell a slight color difference between the two. Edited December 29, 2023 by DieselTech Quote

FWIW: I've used Super Shene over Fiebings Pro Dye without noticing any problems. Question for @chuck123wapati on the M&G or other floor wax products: any concerns with using an air brush to apply it? The only thing I could think of would be that it might clog the nozzle but I would think that if I clean it thoroughly it would be OK. /dwight Quote
