utah leather Report post Posted February 15, 2019 trying tan coat for the 1st time and my question is what is the dry time between the neatsfoot oil and the tan coat ? I put 2 coats of tan coat on some scrap undyed leather just to see what it was going to look like and I checked it out this morning and I like the way it looks and when I bent the leather it didn't crack .Your opinions on the dry time and the tan kote as a finish would be greatly appreciated.

Squilchuck Report post Posted February 15, 2019 I've used tan kote on a couple saddles. I usually wait a few days for the oil to distribute well, but I guess 24 hours in a well heated room? I only use one coat of tan kote. Mostly, I use resolene on strap goods and other leather projects. Resolene diluted 50/50 goes on easy, dries fast and even, and gives a longer lasting resistant coat than tan cote from all accounts. I used it on saddles because it gives a nice finish that eventually wears off so the saddle could be oiled. Hard to re-oil w resolene. --John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
