Members Cyrex Posted December 21, 2010 Members Report Posted December 21, 2010 I've been using acrylic resolin but I notice it cracks a bit on straps. Is atom wax better? Is one definitely better than the other or does it depend on usage of the project? I'm making a case. It doesn't have many 'moving' parts aside from a shoulder strap. Should I be thinning the resolin? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Quote When it's you against the world.... bet on the world.
dirtclod Posted December 21, 2010 Report Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) I've used resolin for years and never had it crack no matter if i thinned or not.How are you putting it on ? I use a sponge that i squeese out some before i put it on. Edited December 21, 2010 by dirtclod Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

I use a sponge that i squeese out some before i put it on. I applied it with a foam brush then went over lightly with a large brush to smooth out any air bubbles. Could it be the surface layer of the leather perhaps? I know some leathers just react differently to dyes and finishes. Quote When it's you against the world.... bet on the world.
