thekid77 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 hey friends, I am in the process of making a halter for use in possible wet/rainy conditions..... can anyone reccommend how to finish the flesh/grain side so that the halter does not sustain water damage? thank you!!

Halitech Report post Posted September 19, 2015 Use something like sno-proof on the flesh side. Use something like a hair dryer or heat gun to slightly warm up the leather, rub the sno-proof into it then go over it again with the heat gun to make it "soak" in. You can also use things like tan kote or resolene but I find they crack with bending Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted September 19, 2015 Encapsulate it in Acrylic. Make sure horse doesn't move so it won't crack. Or, Use Montana Pitchblend, or Pecard's, both paste, not just the MP oil. Leather gets wet, dry it out, preferably NOT in a musty tack room, but in fresh air, under an eve to protect from a lot of sun. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
