Did I Use Too Much Neatsfoot?

[humperdingle]

nope, that should be the method to use. I suspect that, even though you didn't see any bubbles, there were still some irregularities in the Resolene's application. It looks like you have some streak marks there as well, which is what leads me down that path. Did you cut it 50/50 with water first? How are you applying? If you can't spray with an airbrush, the cleanest way to get Resolene on evenly is to use a lightly moist sponge (squeeze out any drips and then blot it off so it's almost dry) and then get a little bit of the 50/50 mix on there. Remember, several light coats is better than one or 2 heavy coats.

OK, thanks Cyberthrasher - I tried a 1st coat of 50/50. I didn't use Neatsfoot at all on this pouch - It was veg tan to start, then dyed prior to drying for the Resolene.

The 50/50 seems to be absorbed much more readily - within a few seconds, and hasn't left any surface issues. I'll allow to dry thoroughly then try your multiple thin coat technique.

Next thing i'll try will be something identical to the triangular purse, but with 50/50.

Thanks again.
