wizard of tragacanth Posted 22 hours ago Report Posted 22 hours ago (edited) I second the notion that the best water repellency you can get is with Resolene (or Mop & Glo cut 50/50 with water). This is an acrylic film layered on your leather. It can be damaged and it is not 100% water proof forever but it is far better than any other top coat for this purpose.

I’m attempting to make them as environment-resistant as I can, as the pieces will be subject to a fair bit of use and abuse. -AZR Use a good boot waterproofing and buffing on the sheaths and thumpers, then take care of them like a pair of good boots. On the dog collars, an initial oiling with NfO, then the dog's own oils keep them supple unless they are really water dogs on a daily basis. Acrylics tend to crack and peel when actually used on stuff that flexes, then do no good anyway. Plus my ignorance of its chemical properties and laziness to look up possible problems I wouldn't put it next to my dog's skin on a permanent basis. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
