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/.

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.

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?
