What kind of finish do y’all use to seal a cuff? I’ve noticed that the spray leather sheen I use cracks quite a bit.

There are many solutions.  Super Sheen, Resolene, Mop 'n Glo cut with water.  Search some of these terms and you will find even more information.  And welcome to the forum from SW Missouri.

As PastorBob said . . . Mop n Glo or Resolene  . . . either one cut 50/50 with water . . . works great.

I use a small . . . cheap . . . bristle brush that I buy in box quantities from Harbor Freight . . . they're about an inch wide . . . I brush on the Resolene/water mixture . . . swirling it on the leather object . . . making a foamy looking mess to start with . . . then I brush out those foam bubbles . . .  left to right . . . right to left . . . top to bottom . . . bottom to top . . . until it is smooth and "shiny" . . . 

I then let it dry . . . no heated forced drying . . . just hung up to dry . . . about 2 or 3 hours later I'll come in if it is a belt or billfold . . . or some holsters . . . I'll grab the item . . . and flex it a bit . . . as would be done in using . . . 

Have never had one customer complain about cracking.

May God bless,
