sealing latigo leather

[RMB Custom Leather]

What would you use to seal latigo leather or is there a need for a sealer? It seems very dull ...

There are a lot of things that you can use to seal latigo with, but keep in mind that some latigos have waxes and oils that will sort of prevent some finishes from adhering. You can use masters quick shine usually, but it's not a really heavy duty sealer. You can wipe the surface down with acetone, and then use some of the standard finishes like leather shene, pro clear, etc, but I'm not a big fan of that..... Oils work ok for sealing, and I'm sure everyone out here has a zillion recipes where they mix some of the favorite products together. Aussies works well on latigo too. My advice is to get all creative and do some exotic experimenting, and then let us all know what you come up with!
