craftsman827 Report post Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I just made a tooled belt. Dyed shades of brown. Then antiqued with Fiebings Antique Finish. QUESTION : What is the best to use to protect the belt, & antique from wearing off ? I have, Fiebings Acrylic Resoline, & Neat Lac. Is one of those good ? I want to protect the antique from coming off. Edited February 2, 2017 by craftsman827 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheilajeanne Report post Posted February 7, 2017 He meant Eco-Flo Satin Sheen, not Stain Sheen. The guy who taught the leathercraft course I took has been doing this for over 30 years, and he says it's the best. Resolene can crack and peel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted February 8, 2017 I have never seen Resolene crack and peel and the most common way that we experienced workers (and most of don't use a Eco-Flo or any other Tandy branded product religiously) we cut our Resolene with water at a 50:50 ratio. Apply a coating, let it dry completely (a few hours) and apply again. I have been doing leather for over 40 years and have used the Fiebing's products religiously without issue and the Neat-Lac (or its real named equivalent) is just as good and I have never seen it crack or peel either. Issues that arise from a product are typically the result of improper use of that product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
