Final finish with Leather balm with atom wax

[Hildebrand]

When you guys use the Leather balm with atom wax do you put a final finish of Resolene or Mop and Glo over it or is it the final finish?

Thanks, as always you guys are a great resource.

I use it after I apply Resolene - usually two coats buffed in between coats.

I have used it both ways:  before and after seal coat.  I like the finish it gives, looks great, but no water resistance without something else.  and adding the something else ruins it's look.  So I don't get to use it much, seems kinda pointless, like I already put neatsfoot oil on it, I don't need another leather nourishment.  I need a topcoat/seal!

I put it on last.  Let dry.  Buff out.

I need to brush up on putting a good finish on a holster. Any other info would be great.

I usually apply the resolene on the inside of my knife sheaths and then let dry and then stitch.  For the outside a few coats (or several) of neetsfoot oil followed by Aussie Leather balm, buff out and that's it.  Seems to give a nice finish.  The resolene on the inside, I have no idea, it is just something I saw somebody doing and I thought it made sense so I stuck with that routine.
