Members Shorts Posted December 26, 2008 Members Report Posted December 26, 2008 I currently use Resolene to finish my items and I'm pleased with the results. I'm considering trying Angelus Acrylic finisher in order to 'see what else is out there'. I'll also be switching to Angelus dyes and changing a little of my production process. Anyonew have any experience with Angelus finish, either the semi/gloss or the satin formula? I'll be using this on modern holsters and belts. Quote

I'll be using this on modern holsters and belts. I have never used Relolene but I have, and I do still use the acrylic finishes from Angelus, 3 of them (matt, satin and gloss). In my experience they are the same (?) as the Super/Satin sheen etc, I don't see no difference. Quote

esantoro Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Weaver has an LCI product called Tuff Cote (comes in clear and black, which I've read can also be used as an edge finish), which has a satiny finish. Here's some information From the DYO site for a similar glossy-finish product: Top Cote # 9: Top Cote # 9 is the most durable clear top cote currently available. Top Cote # 9 offers excellent adherence, flexibility and stands side by side with DYO Tuff Cote in terms of abrasion, scuff, and impact resistance. Top Cote # 9 provides a high gloss and is water based. The intense gloss achieved with Top Cote # 9 makes it the perfect top cote for exotic leathers such as alligator, ostrich, and lizard. Application: Spray or Manual I'm putting in an order first of the year for the Tuff Cote and a waterproofing Top Coat #200: A solvent-system, semi-gloss, waterproof/protective coating. Excellent adhesion and flexibility. Spray application. If thinning is desired, use LCi Thinner only. Ed Quote
