Chris:

sheepwool scraps can be gotten through tandy, springfield leather... just about anybody who sells leathercraft supplies (perhaps, but probably not, through ac moore or michaels, though- but ya never know). I'd tend to stay away from auto parts stores, because their stuff is often synthetic & more often than not, is much more expensive than a bag of real scraps. It may work, but it'll be more $$ than a bag of scrap

As far as # of coats, you don't really need more than 2, imho, at the very most, & that would be for a light spray first to set it so the color doesn't run. If you apply too many, it can crack if flexed or bent. While I have used super shene (which is water-based acrylic, as is satin shene) in combination with (but not at the same time) neatlac, I would really say: stick with 1 or the other! If you want to experiment, & can afford to throw away a project if you screw it up, yeah, go ahead, but if something is 'a labor of love', as you appropriately term this seat, I wouldn't. On practice scraps, yeah, go ahead & play & experiment, but on good stuff, NO. Stick with what works.

good luck.

thanks for the tip Russ.

I'll check out Tandy again. I wish they were close by but then again that might be too dangerous monetarily.Have a great weekend.
