Adding a leather topcoat is essential for more vibrant color and to seal your leather. Tandy has a wide variety of products to add a finish to your projects. These products can be used in different ways to achieve your desired effect. It is important to think about how your finished product will look when choosing a finish. You can use these products as a water-resistant topcoat, as a resist before using an antique finish, to highlight your leather, preserve your leather goods, and more. We have high-gloss, satin, and matte finish options. Always test on a scrap piece of leather first. It is always a good idea to buff your leather before applying a topcoat; this will remove any surface debris before applying finish on your leather. Make sure that your project is completely dry. If you are working outdoors, keep your project out of direct sunlight and extreme heat. When applying finishes be sure to cover your workspace and wear gloves. We used plastic sheeting under our paper to protect our work surface. If you are using an acrylic-based finish, be sure to be in a well-ventilated area. For this demonstration, we are using Eco-Flo® Super Shene as a topcoat for our dyed leather.
