ericjoswald Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, I am a novice leather worker but have done a lot of different project over the years - just never anything too involved. I made an over-the-shoulder style carrying bag out of some very nice thick leather I bought from a muzzleloading store. It was a gift and the bag hung on the side of the waist. Unfortunately it began to stain the clothing. So my question first is: Now that the bag is made is there anything I can do prevent the bag from staining? And second: When buying leather how do you tell what will stain and what wont? Any info. would be appreciated thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 3, 2010 Try a sealant on top of your finished color dye such as Neat-Lac or Bee Natural RTC finish. This should help you. I am not sure about Tan Kote because I do not have that much experience with it. As for your second question, that one is loaded. I can tell you what look for, but it hasn't really worked out for me. One thing I have learned is that 'I' cannot do much with Tandy 'imported' leather besides their Royal Meadow line. I have much better luck with Wickett & Craig and Hermann Oak leather. I am thinking of trying out some W/C Chocolate & W/C Russett tanned leather. I know that I have not answered your number 2 question, but maybe someone else can chime in. Happy New Year!
