what to use to seal veggie leather

[stampingdelight]

hi

what should I use to seal veggie leather that will not change the look or color of the veggie leather?

Lots of prayer . . .  

Resolene actually doesn't change the color of dyed pieces "a lot" but there is a minor change.

Some folks swear that Mop N Glo is as good as well.

They would be the first ones I'd try . . . but it depends on what you are going to do with it afterwards . . . or what kind of product it is.  You didn't say that.

May God bless,

Dwight

Almost everything put on leather will change the color.  That's the cost of sealing.  M&G doesn't do much though.  Slightly darker and shinier.

going to turn into leather bracers, just really liked how the veggie took the image stamped but fearful if darkened the image will be lost

Yep...in the picture that is the same leather after about 1-2 years later. If you leave it out in the sun it will darken quicker! This is natural Horse leather in the picture.

Sun? Not a word I'm familiar with.

In all the years I have done this, I have never used those plastic finishes, or had dye transfer, with the exception of black. And even that has been minimal.
