Leather finishing after dip dying

[themig29]

Did my first dip dying of some wallets I'm piecing together. All I've read is that the dye may bleed out with regular use. I'm looking at both resolene and carnauba wax to seal the projects. Any help on how these would work. And would a resolene application prevent the leather from developing a patina? 

 

Thanks!

I don't think the resolene will cause it not to patina. It should still get patina with age/ wear.

 

Maybe I'm wrong. I am sure others will chime in on this.

Thanks, I've seen some mixed messages on the internet about it. Would carnauba wax act as a good enough seal to prevent any dye bleeding? Since they are wallets, I'm not super concerned about them being waterproofed as exposure should be fairly minimal.

I have not used carnuba wax. I do not think carnauba wax will seal leather from dye bleed out/ rub off. 

I use either Satin Shene or Super Shene from Tandy & it seems to do a good job for me. 

I personally think carnauba wax might make dye rub off/bleed out even worse.
