Members JazzBass Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report Posted December 19, 2018 I'm nearly finished with two belts I've made as Christmas presents. They are made of W&C English Bridle, in black. Having beveled, rounded, and dyed the edges (Fiebing's Pro Dye), they were first slicked with saddle soap and water, then slicked again with Gum Trag on top. Question - is the gum trag sufficient to seal the dye against running from moisture, or should I use a coat of Tan Kote or Resolene to further seal them? I was hesitant to cover the entire belt with a seperate top coat, as the leather itself is wonderfully finished. Advice please Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan
Members battlemunky Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report Posted December 19, 2018 I use water, gum trag, and then beeswax as a sealer. I guess resolene will do the job too. Quote
