Water Spots

[Historicalbeltworks]

I have been using Angelus 600 as a topcoat, resist, for many years. Recently, I’ve been caught in the rain with my booth at a couple of events. I noticed afterwards that the bulk of my product had terrible water spots on them. I have two questions, first can I get the water spots off and how second is there another top coat I can use, if this is gonna continue to persist, that will not water spot?   Thank you.

Moved this to the finishes area.

For me, Blackrock's Leather N Rich works great for outdoor leather. Hats, sheaths, holsters, you name it. Even a year later, it's still shedding water and zero spotting. 

I'll dye items at whatever point and then the leather n rich when I'm done. Nothing else. It works for me.

Thanks. I will try that in the future. I’m hoping to come up with something to get rid of the water spots now, it’s several thousand dollars worth of product.

They are 'ruined' now to you. I'd suggest using clean water and giving the affected areas a real wetting and then letting it slowly dry out - days not hours

That always worked on items that I had water-spots on
