Members Toolingaround Posted March 2, 2014 Members Report Posted March 2, 2014 Hi There I didn't notice your post until now but I thought I would give you my thoughts on Saddle Lac for what it's worth. I use it a lot. I find it is very water resistant. I would probably use Clear Lac if I had some that said I use it the same way. I don't spray it directly on the ittem. I spray it on a scrap of trimmed sheep fleece and wipe it on quickly and lightly. Maybe doing a second coat if needed. Now it does have a tendency to crack on areas that are flexed a lot so I would probably not try it on a belt. A lot of belt makers seem to use resolene cut 50/50 with water for belts. I like Saddle Lac but it has limitations. As a side note I get better search results on leatherworker.net if I go to google and type in leatherworker.net and my querie. I have learned A LOT from this wonderful web site that way. People on here are fantastic! Cheers, Toolingaround Quote
