FINISHES
3) If the leather is still damp from the casing during the application of the design (stamping or carving), allow leather to
dry thoroughly before applying a finish. Remember when you
apply the leather finish, you seal off the leather surface.
4) Be sure the applicator is clean and free of foreign matter
to ensure uniform application. When applying acrylic based
finishes with a sponge, slightly dampen sponge with water to
help evenly spread the finish.
RESIST DYEING
APPLICATION:
1) Using a wool piece or soft cloth, apply a liberal coat onto

Leather stains and antiques are the easiest and most commonly
used products for coloring leather. They not only bring out
the natural grain of the leather, but also settle in all cuts and
impressions enhancing and making designs stand out.

The Hand or Saddle Stitch gets its name from being used
to sew saddles. This type of sewing is strong and holds
well because it is double stitched. This means that even if
the thread on one side is broken, the sewn item will still
stay together.
