Young Leather Report post Posted September 24, 2015 First off, I apologize for any mistakes made in this post, I am a very young and inexperienced leather worker. I am making a simple wallet that has 4 pieces of leather total, doesn't fold, and only has 3 slots total. I have made more complicated for others, but for me, I like simple. I dyed the leather with antique, using no resist as I wanted the antique affect and the saddle tan colour. Do I need to put on another finish over the antique like super sheen to seal it in, or can I leave it as is? Most likely the wallet will get plenty of sweat on it, and go in and out of my jeans pocket regularly. If another overcoat to "seal" it is needed, is there anything that I can use that won't give it the super glossy, shiny finish that super sheen does?

Colt W Knight Report post Posted September 24, 2015 I always seal in my dyes and antiques. I use mop n glo thinned fifty fifty with water through an airbrush. It is similar to acrylic resolene but super easy to clean up and cheap to buy. I also like it because its not nearly as shiny as leather lacquers like super sheen. If your desired finish is too shiny, you can rub it lightly with 0000 steel wool after it dries all the way to give it a matte appearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
