Members BatCity Posted January 7, 2017 Members Report Posted January 7, 2017 I am new to leatherwork and have been working on key chains with an eel skin inset that is dark brown. Is there a way to protect/seal the eel skin so the brown color doesn't scrape off? Quote

I don't have an answer as I have not used Eel. I purchased mine at the local Tandy. They only had about 6 skins of different colors. The one I purchased is dark brown. I was told by a lady at Tandy that I could use resolene on it so I tested it on a key chain I made for my wife. No adverse effects at this point and seems to be working. I also sold one that did not have resolene and it is holding up fine as well. Quote
Members wlg190861 Posted February 16, 2017 Members Report Posted February 16, 2017 I would be interested in seeing a picture of the keychain. Do you have a photo you can share ? Quote
