Members Moore77 Posted February 29, 2016 Members Report Posted February 29, 2016 Hi, I was wondering what type of finish should I use to waterproof the leather,but I don't want to have the leather to be glossy because I'm using piece for hunting. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 I am a complete novice. That being said I use fiebings leather sheen. I have it in gloss, but I believe it comes in matte.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted May 16, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted May 16, 2016 You might also check out "Deft", which is a spray lacquer used in some woodwork. I got mine at Lowe's, and it's available in matte, semi, and gloss. It seals the leather as well as any of the spray lacquers sold for the leather industries....meaning that I spray it onto a piece of shearling and rub it into the leather instead of spraying directly onto the leather (which can result in unwanted build-up).
