BatCity Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlg190861 Report post Posted February 16, 2017 I would be interested in seeing a picture of the keychain. Do you have a photo you can share ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
