Guest Judy Report post Posted June 4, 2018 Hello I would like to ask for help. I painted a natural cowhide with Fiebing's paint. (Oil Dye) since I handle it to be waterproof and strong. A bag is made for a motorcycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted June 4, 2018 Please tell the members what you want help doing. Also, we call the process coloring using Fiebing's oil and alcohol dye: "dyeing" rather than painting. This is because the dye penetrates the surface permanently. Paint only lies on top of the surface and can wear off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) reading what is not there I guess the OP wants to know what to put on next to weather proof the bag Firstly; Remember - it can not be made totally waterproof - it can only be made a bit weather proof Buff the bag, buff it some more, then apply some neatsfootoil, followed by a few coats of diluted Resolene. For most things I find that does the job, along with beeswax polished on. Or use a few coats of Snow Proof Paste Make sure you get plenty of either the beeswax or Snow Proof into the leather joints and the sewing - thats where the rain water will get into the bag Edited June 4, 2018 by fredk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
