King's X Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would that work too? I tried it already and my project didnt turn out so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
