Leather Bum Posted September 30, 2008 Report Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Ok, what do you use to finish leather that's been treated with vinegaroon? My leather (after Lexol and Fiebing's Saddle Oil) seems to come out with a sort of flat black look, and I want to make it a little shinier and sort of seal and protect it. However, as others here have noted, after vinegaroon, the leather appears to achieve a somewhat water-resistant aspect. I've tried Bee Natural RTC, Fiebing's Leather Sheen, and Tandy Satin Shene, and they all seem to give a white/grayish look to the surface when the leather is bent -- making me think they are not adhering/soaking into the leather properly due to it's water-resistance. What can I do to fix the leather back so it will accept finishes the way it's supposed to? I'd like to have a good, protective, lasting finish on top. It's actually kind of strange the way the leather becomes after I apply the vinegaroon -- almost seems as if it isn't the same type of leather anymore. . .?
