Members Jesleright Posted July 17, 2013 Members Report Posted July 17, 2013 Greetings from WV, I am having problems with Mission Grain pig lining used in wallets. The finish sticks and rubs off onto the wallet contents. Someone who has one of the wallets i made won't use it because of this rub-off. Don't want to sell wallets that have this problem. This is the leather i am using; http://springfieldleather.com/32400/Lining%2CMissionGrain%2CBrn%2CRegula/. Jesse Quote May the Grace and Love of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, be with you. Acts 4:12Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."NKJV Guess who the first leather worker is! Read Genesis chapter 3, verse 21 ;-)
Members Harag Posted July 19, 2013 Members Report Posted July 19, 2013 What are you using to seal in the dye? When the dye is dry, buff it really well until no dye is coming off on to the cloth, then I would suggest to use Resolene (50/50 mix with water) to seal in the dye. Quote
Members Jesleright Posted July 19, 2013 Author Members Report Posted July 19, 2013 I just use the leather as is; it comes pre-dyed and finished. Here's a couple photos of the wallet i use. In this photo, i circled the areas on the lining that have the most finish rubbed off. And here is what the finish has rubbed off onto. Is this normal wear, or is there something wrong with the leather's factory finish? Jesse Quote May the Grace and Love of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God, be with you.
