Moderator Art Posted May 31, 2015 Moderator Report Posted May 31, 2015 Lucky, You did marvelous work. If you are using the MacNamara-Dilar stuff from Canada (Leathertouchupdye I think), you have to dab it on over the filler to get a heavy enough coat, once you get it to cover, then you can rub it on. The restoration stuff is really a paint sort of thing, not like true leather dye. You can't mix the two disciplines. For the restoration filler/paint, I like the stuff from Superior better, but the one time I used the MacNamara on a car seat, it worked for me. If you get a natural or sun colored 6oz tooled seat to fix, it a whole different ball of wax, the restoration products don't work as well. You might want to make a "shower cap" for the seat if it is going to be outside a lot. Vinyl with elastic around the bottom is all you need.

Members LuckyRabbitsFootLeather Posted May 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2015 Some of my products came from Leather World Technologies. Their prices were easier for me to handle compared to leathertoucchupdye. Plus they have a large selection of products that I could mix and match. Everything worked the way it was suppose to so I'm a satisfied customer. For sealing I used the pitch blend balm this time and I'll try Pecard's on the next, so I can get a feel for all the products. Thank you again for your help...and my customer thanks you too! (I'll send you the 30% commission soon.) Quote
