Finish compatibility

Does Tan Kote "get along" with Super Sheen and Tandy antique liquid?

I finished carving and tooling an album cover, and put a natural suntan on it. Then I used Super Sheen as a resist, followed by Tandy antique liquid. I love the rich color... Now I want to use Tan Kote followed by Aussie leather finish with beeswax as a final finish because I HATE the shiny plastic look of Super Sheen!

Thoughts? Advice?

Thanks.

Never mind. I experimented on a bit of scrap and got my answer. Tan Kote is shiny on top of Super Sheen, but does seem to get along with it okay.

I really hate shiny finishes because IMO they make the leather look like plastic. Guess I'm going to have to travel 3 hours to get some caranuba cream w/atom wax.

Better yet, I think I will try some Kiwi neutral shoe polish.
