Eco-Flow Waterstain Mishap And Lesson Learned

[NVLeatherWorx]

I have to agree with texback, I have never seen anything other than the spray saddle lac with Tandy. That is why I buy a quart of Clear-Lac and use it. I have used it with the Eco-Flo Antique's before without any issue but I am not a fan of the eco stuff as there is a high level of rub-off, bleed, etc. depending on which finish you use and I have been using the Fiebing's product line since I started with leather in the 70's and know exactly how it reacts with the finishes and what you can do with it. Guess you can say that I going with the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I don't recall ever seeing any liquid Saddle Lac, I am confused about it being the same as clear lac, clear lac is the exact same as the old neat lac, is made by LCI. I have used it or Neat Lac almost exclusively for a long, long, time, and I never have any issues with it not protecting or resisting. I highly recommend Clear Lac. I do use Angelus finish from time to time on some applications, but not very often.

Saddlelac is a Fiebings product. I will add that Clearlac works as a finish over the Ecoflo products. I agree with Nev, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And Chief is exactly correct. Saddle Lac is a Fiebing's product (and always has been) while the Clear-Lac is the exact same formula as the original Neat-Lac was (guess because it is the same manufacturer who, by the way, also markets it under the name of Wyo-Sheen I believe) and that product works just as well today as it did in 1974. I use it for top finish, resist, and just about everything else it can be used for. Great product and you won't disappointed.

I looked on Tandy's website and couldn't find anything but the saddle lac spray, which I was told took the place of neat lac spray and was basically the same thing (they're both lacquer finishes). I couldn't find any liquid lacquer product at all. I'll look in my shop tomorrow and see for sure what it is. I used neat lac for years and really liked it but I can't tell any difference in the two. Long story short any laquer finish will work good.
