Members Bawarrior Posted September 14, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 14, 2018 These kits from Tandy Leather are really nice to work with and as you can see you're only restriction is your imagination they work better if you give them the Coat of neat's-foot oil the day before you go to work with them Quote
Members ScoobyNewbie Posted September 14, 2018 Members Report Posted September 14, 2018 Thank you for that tip. I put neetsfoot on a purse kit before I used EcoFlo water stain “evening blue”. On one piece I water stained first, and on all the others I used neetsfoot oil before to soften the pieces up. ‘The piece that got neetsfoot after is very dark and exactly how I wanted it. A little 6th grade, but pretty good for my first tooling project. I’ll try to get a picture up. the rest of the pieces are still pretty, but they are much more variegated than I wanted. It turned out okay, underwatery and blue, so okay, but is this because I didn’t wait long enough after the neetsfoot oil, or is it because I used a waterstain instead of an oil based dye? Quote
