Members Basically Bob Posted October 16, 2014 Members Report Posted October 16, 2014 I make a 3 piece guitar strap with a tailpiece and tongue stitched to the main body and am applying resolene as a finish. I am thinking that it would be best to apply the resolene prior to stitching rather than after. Do any of you resolene fans have thoughts on this? Here's a pic of one of my straps. Quote
Northmount Posted October 17, 2014 Report Posted October 17, 2014 Applying the finish first helps to reduce the risk of getting something on the leather that is going to leave a permanent stain. With machine stitching, could get a drop of oil, or using pre-lubed thread can leave a stain/discoloration that you wouldn't like. With hand stitching and keeping your hands and tools clean, you have a lower risk of leaving a stain ... except maybe that red stuff in your finger! Tom Quote
