Members pino Posted February 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 4, 2011 Can you tell me how you stained these belts? Thanks. Rick McElrath rmcelrath@gmail.com hey Rick, after tooling I spread some mik oil, once the leather is dry I put the block out all over and let it dry, then Tandy leather gel antique medium brown, wiping out the excess quickly; let it dry then I finish with Fiebing's Tan Kote. Wait for the tan kote to dry thoroughly then buff it. After that I put some more mink oil to soften the leather some more. That's all. One thing, the longer you leave the antique on, the darker it gets. If it gets darker than what you're looking for, before it dries, take a damp sponge and wipe it till you get the desired color. Thanks for watching Pino Quote
King's X Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Pino: You coming to visit us (USA) this year? I am planning an 8 hour swivel knife class locally and I would like to get it planned near your time here for you to attend if possible. Send me an email and let me know. Take care Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted February 5, 2011 Members Report Posted February 5, 2011 I didn't know you had to use block before the antique gel?
