David Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 That exactly what happened. It was right where i first applied the Fiebings stain.Tom Tom, I can't guarantee anything, but I think this happens when leather is very dry. Some lexol will add moisture back to the leather. The leather may not take the stain quite as well, but it may prevent the spotting. I usually apply the stain with an airbrush, so this usually happened to me when I first touched the antiquing paste to the leather. I just used some of the dryest leather I've ever had and I got no spotting. Give it a try on you next project, what have you got to lose? Dave Quote

Here is something I was playing with. I was going to do something different with this but figured what the heck, need something to experiment on. Used Lexol and it worked out fine, no splochs.
