Members DeWayne Hayes Posted January 5, 2024 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2024 Does the M&G over the black shoe polish keep the shoe polish from rubbing off on clothing? I'm guessing it does. Quote
Members chiefjason Posted January 5, 2024 Members Report Posted January 5, 2024 I wax mine then dip twice in M&G. Been doing that almost 10 years. I usually do one coat of atom wax last. After 2 coats the finish is kind of dull and the atom wax brings back just enough shine but not enough to look like its plastic. Probably overkill but it works for me and everyone likes the look.

Members DeWayne Hayes Posted January 5, 2024 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2024 I just love the look AND feel of waxed leather - like a nice pair of dress shoes. So, I consider this combo of wax and M&G to be a great "best of both worlds" ... I'm not exactly getting the feel of pure wax, but I'm getting almost the same shine, with the great value add of waterproofing provided by the acrylic. Good combo and easy, durable finish for novices like myself. I've just been going back and doing all my holsters and knife sheaths. Easy to add to an old project. Quote
CFM Frodo Posted January 8, 2024 CFM Report Posted January 8, 2024 I was fooling around last night with shoe polish because of this thread I stamped a piece of leather then used dried polish as a rub. Applied with my finger and rubbed the buffed then I used tan kote to seal this is just a fool around scrap I find the outcome to be an interesting look polish is kiwi black Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
