Any Tips For Production Level Sealing?

[BearEnterprises]

I've sort of worked myself into a corner on this one and could use any tips, tricks, suggestions, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc that people can come up with.

My sales have outpaced my output which is fantastic, but still problematic. The biggest bottleneck in the process for me at least is applying a sealer to the (nearly) finished leather. At the moment I'm using Resolene and going through nearly 2 gallons a month to give an idea of scale. Applying it with wool daubers works quite well but is painfully slow. I've experimented with spraying it (messy, wasteful of material and doesn't seem to absorb and dry satisfactorily) as well as a few other methods but can't seem to find a way to expedite the process without sacrificing quality. Any suggestions?

In my mind spraying is the fastest way to apply resolene on large or multiple pieces. I spray all my pieces with an airbrush and I've never had a problem with it drying or absorbing. I use mop & glow cut 50/50 now instead of resolene and never had a problem with either. If you are having a problem with it drying it may be that you are applying too heavy of a coat or maybe not cutting it 50/50 with water(same as a heavy coat). I always give the first light coat about an hour to dry then hit it with another light coat then 24 hours to dry/cure. As far as being wasteful and messy maybe you are using too much air pressure. Light coats built up is the key IMHO.
