esantoro Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 Ed, that is beautiful What was the final decision on products for this one? The final finish for this bag was Bag Kote. But now I've moved on to Tuff Kote. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Bree Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Ed,Have you ever used the blocks of 100% Carnuba wax in treating any of your leather? I have a block of 100% Carauba wax and it is as hard as a rock. I doubt that it would be useful for treating leather in that pure form. I think it has to be blended with something else at least to allow it to be applied. The only way you will get it onto leather in pure form is to melt it on. Quote Ride Safe!

Members Randy Cornelius Posted January 22, 2009 Members Report Posted January 22, 2009 I had an old saddlemaker tell me this years ago, unknown how accurate it is. #1 Harness dressing deluted 50% with water is equal to Tan Kote Tan Kote deluted 50% with water is equal to Bag Kote. I have yet to find any supplier that lists #1 harness dressing. Someone let me know if they see it somewhere.

esantoro Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 Just got off the phone with Vernon at Weaver Leather. He says they use Tuff Kote on nearly anything. He also said they had tried everything Fiebings has and that nothing compares to TK. I asked about harness dressing. He said don't bother and to stick with TK. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
MADMAX22 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks for the info, Ill have to try some out. Good leg work esantoro Quote
esantoro Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 Since I'm now using Tuff Kote for a finish, is it possible to apply Aussie Wax over the finish, or should it be applied under the finish? Depending on the leather, I usually like to do an application of neatsfoot oil, then a coat or two of Aussie Wax. Ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
