Mixing finishes

Recommended Posts

So, I normally use Mop and glo 50/50 with water.  But I've also got some older resolene around and just picked up some more from buying out a small NC leather worker.  I know they are very close in make up.  Has anyone used them together?  I dip my holsters and I was considering adding the resolene in with the M&G and water to just use it up.  But if that's a terrible idea I'll figure something else out.  I certainly don't want to mess anything up trying to "save money".  Thoughts?

mix a small amount and try it on scrap. If it dont mix save the rest for small projects.

I think they are both acrylic. I've never mixed them but using them side by side, I can't tell a difference aside from the M&G being clean and fresh smelling.

Both are acrylics, but acrylic is a broader term than most think.  They are not all exactly the same.  MOST are compatible, but not all!

So, I've let a line of holsters I offer slide for a while.  Just not enough time to do everything.  Now that I'm catching up I decided to do some of them ready to ship.  And those I finish with a brush.  So I'm just going to use the scrap stuff up on the hybrid backs and leave the leather alone with M&G.  That way I can use it up and not have to worry about messing up a leather holster.
