i itself use clear version on my tinted knife sheaths, I like carve pretty crazy pictures and paint them over. So clear resolene gives nice shine and semi waterproof my works :)

Is it possibile use Resolene and then write on leather with a permanent maker (like Sharpie), to fix the paint? Because if I use sharpie on normal leather the paint goes away in a few months, absorbed by the same leather... With Resolene probably paint will stay there? Thank you for answer

Hello, it might help in the short-term, though might wear away in the long-term. Resolene generally forms a semi-shiny protective barrier, and that would help keep the sharpie on top of it, making it easier to eventually rub off via wear (if the object is one that goes into pockets, rubs against other things, etc.) And you're totally right about the sharpie being absorbed by leather. it get's pulled into the fibers over time, just like regular leather dyes. Another option might be paint, as where dye gets pulled into the fibers, paint sits on top and won't be absorbed in as easily. (something like an Angelus paint could be good). For extra protection, that can be topped with resolene, to seal it all in.

I just saw this in my local leather crafting store! I saw they also had Eco Flo "Super Shene", Fiebing's Bag-Kote, & Tan-Kote version, is there a difference between these or is Resolene maybe geared more towards dyed leather? They have the latter in a neutral, so I'm guessing it's a clear coat? Excited to hear your response, thank you for educating!

Hey! 😃 You're welcome, glad it's helpful info to watch. For those products, it mainly comes down to preference on finished look and performance characteristics. Roughly, I believe it is: Bag Kote - water based, soft, satin finish Resolene - gloss acrylic Tan-Kote - Resin based satin finish Super-Shene - Water based water repellent gloss finish What type of project are you planning to use it for?

@@internationalleatherclub Sorry about the late response! Ohh! I prefer satin/matte finishes but does that diminish the protection overall? I don't mind sacrificing the appearance for it if that's the case, but I plan to use these projects while out and about! I work with treats, painting, animal-grooming care--all separate, aha! 😊 Though I planned to also make a few organisers based on hobbies, so some might be bent, is there anything to help with that as well?

@@pimpompim No worries! 😃 For out and about something with water resistance might have benefit, and in general the finish appearance (shiny, matter, etc.) should have little impact on performance. Key will be the components used in the formula and their performance characterists for the intended use you've got. They should cover most leathers well, even those with bends and molded shapes. Sounds like a fun project!
