YinTx Report post Posted September 20, 2021 I've used Resolene and Angelus Acrylic finisher. Prefer the finisher, as it seems more resistant to water, but it does impart a higher gloss. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted September 20, 2021 Because I'm a cheap skate . . . I'd make one . . . give it 4 or 5 dip coats in Mop N Glo . . . made 50/50 Mop N Glo and water. I'm thinking that would settle any problems out . . . other than being a little slippery and slidy May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastorBob Report post Posted September 21, 2021 My personal opinion would be to give them a coat of neatsfoot oil, then let them slowly patina with use. I have a really nice leather sleeve over my favorite drinking tumbler. It was done this way and was a light color. Over the last few years of use, and spilling drinks, down the side, etc. it is a nice rich darker brown. Kind of reminds me of how my baseball glove patina'd over the years growing up...the inside of it anyways, The rings will only be noticeable until they dry. As more happen it will have an even coat of a darker color. It will look nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToddW Report post Posted September 27, 2021 Mop n Glo did the trick.. Was a bit worried it would change the look of the leather (and finish) but all is good.. I actually had a hard time finding it as the walmarts reported to have it in inventory via the app but did not. They carried Orange n Glow which I was afraid to use. Fond the Mop n Glow at Ace Hardware.. Anyway, thanks for the help.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted September 27, 2021 This is the patina I referred to in earlier post. Glad you found a solution that met your needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
