davisleather Report post Posted December 22, 2016 Hi! I've been leather working for awhile but due to school it's been sporadic over the last several years and now that I'm done I'm wanting to get back into it! I've recently done a project on a wallet and every thing was going well until I tried to seal it with Tandy Super Sheen. No matter how many coats I put on it wasn't resisting water, even though it's done fairly well for me in the past. Also, I saw on here how some people use neatsfoot oil and snowproof. I tried that and I like how supple the leather stays, but once again still a bit of dye comes off with water. Also, after using the neatsfoot oil and snowproof I found that Barge would not work on the leather. Lastly, if you barely bend the leather cracks appear and the leather shows light blue instead of the dark blue I dyed it with. 1) any suggestions for other things to try for sealing? 2)preferences on what to use for buffing the leather? 3)gluing? 4) cracks? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
