Matt750 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 Hey everyone my name is Matt and I'm from Cincinnati. I dropped the ball last week on some leather working tools and products and here are some pics of my first project: I have watched a ton of videos on Youtube and read all kinds of info regarding what dyes and finishes to use and when to use them... but have almost taken in too much information and it hasn't all clicked yet ha. The only product on the outside of this pouch is 2 coats of Feibing's Oil Dye. I bought these products: -Feibings Oil Dye (dark brown) -Edge Kote TAN (I thought this stuff was actually called 'tan kote' not 'edge kote' tan color, so I bought this color on accident I suppose, thinking it was a clear product to be used over and color finish) -Eco-Flo Super Sheen -Feibing's Natural Carnauba Creme -Eco-Flo Gum Tragacanth I burnished the edge with a wet coat of Oil Dye applied with a cue-tip. Do I have the right product to seal this pouch with to get a water resistant / proof result? Also, if you have any critiques please tell me what looks good or where I can improve! Thanks!

Norton Custom Leather Report post Posted October 11, 2015 Matt, there are a number of sealers & water resisters you can use. I typically use anything with a mink oil on my holsters. You have to remember to allow the mink to do its job & soak in tho. I always rub the mink in by hand. Always remember to TEST whatever you are going to use on a scrap piece first. Mink will darken so leather taking away from the look you may want. SLC has a number of good items you can use. You can also goto any store that deals in farm supply & they should have sealers.
