Finishing My Leather

Recommended Posts

Do you just acrylic resolene the outside? Or do you do the inside as well? Ive read places where people suggest the inside to avoid sweat getting into the leather.

I've never resolened the inside of a project. I'm trying to think of something I can use for reference that would be similar to your project. Well belts, people sweat on their belts all the time and you just let them dry out. You don't resolene the back unless you've lined it with veg tanned. Cheryl

Sorry, Cheryl, . . . wrong answer.

Resolene goes on the front, back, edges, keeper, . . . only things it misses on my belts is the holes and the buckles.

Not putting it on the back of the belt is telling your customer that you want the belt to soak up his / her sweat, . . . get all grungy, grimy, gooky, wear out, and be useless sooner so they can buy another one.

it is a sealing product, . . . meant to seal the dye in, . . . keep the belt looking greater, longer. It also seals most liquids out, including sweat.

I cannot think of a project I would not do, . . . inside and out with it, . . . unless I lined the inside with suede or veggie tan to protect the weapon on a holster, or the blade on a sheath. Those are the only exceptions in my line up.

YMMV

May God bless,

Dwight
