Could any one tell me what he means by lacquer or what it is please Thanks Ron Quote
electrathon Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Clear-laq or wyo-sheen. It used to be called neet-laq. Try Sheridan Leather Outfitters Chans video is probibly the best out there for learning Sheridan. He is a great teacher. Quote

Could any one tell me what he means by lacquer or what it is please Thanks Ron they make a few kinds now to replace what they used to use. clearlac, neatlac, and there is another that i have never used but i believe is the same called wyosheen. it is a finish that acts as a resist also for using the antique finishes available, then you usually do one more coat over the antique after you have wiped off the excess and let it dry. its an art and there are many spots on here going over the process good luck i used neatsfoot oil, clearlac and fiebings sheridan antique paste on this, i got them from springfield leather Quote
King's X Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Springfield leather company sells 'Clear-Lac' which I use, but the cost and restrictions to your country may be an issue. Check out a product called 'RTC Sheridan Finish' by a company called Bee's Natural. Quote

Would that work too? I tried it already and my project didnt turn out so good. Quote

The spray will crack sometimes. I got great results by taking a damp paper towel to it when removing the antique and it left me with a great color. Quote
