Lwleather Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Ok, now that I have some Neatlac, I'm curious which is the better overall finish for tooled leather. I don't usually dye much of anything, and I've been using Tan-Kote to seal up my basket stamp. I did discover that "well ventilated" means GO OUTSIDE with the Neatlac... HOLY COW!!! My shop is a room in the house. DO NOT Neatlac in the house... lol Anyway, thanks for any input!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Neatlaq is a far more durable finish than tan Kote. Tan Kote is better for something you want to stay more soft (comparing a tooled purse to a dog colar). But, what I do: Tool your item. Seal it with a full coat of Neatlaq. Antique it with Fiebings paste. Seal it with Tan Kote. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
