MichelleWall Report post Posted April 29, 2020 I’ve been painting a few slobber straps but am unsure of how to finish them? Also, what is the difference between the leather acrylic paints and just normal craft paint? Any help would be appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted April 29, 2020 Price is probably the largest difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HaloJones Report post Posted April 29, 2020 I think the leather versions are more flexible when dry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted April 29, 2020 Firstly, welcome to the forum I use ' cova paints' , they are quite good and safe to use, and like HJ said, they are flexible, however, I haven't used other craft paints before, as I don't know if they're suitable for leather, ie . flexibility, durability etc. Also, what is a 'slobber strap' ?

MichelleWall Report post Posted May 1, 2020 @Handstitched Thanks!! Slobber straps attach your reins and bIt on a bridle. Very commonly used with a Mecate set up. More commonly seen in the ranch work industry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handstitched Report post Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks for that. After over 14 years of doing leather, bridle repairs etc. , thats the first time I've seen them. Obviously more common in the US than here in Oz. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
