Oh my gosh, i get over 40 years on leathercraft and i learn the faster and best way to antique. No overnight waiting and i get exactly the finish i wish. I use proresist not resolene but i so fast wow and give me a neat finish. Thank you very munch.

[@lindseyfrazier3298]

the sock in the kit LOL i love it!

[@DrawerFullofRocks]

Perfect! Thank you so very much!

[@williammrdeza9445]

Thanks Joe! Finishes are something I am constantly trying to figure out and this video, along with your explanation of the steps involved, was very helpful to me.

[@Working925detecting]

Very informative Joe thank you. Hopefully now my projects will hold the antique better after following this.

[@danieljuarez2710]

Thanks for sharing your techniques.. It’s amazing the small things you do that help others on there leather crafting journey.. Ex.. Leaving the sheep wool in the antique.

[@jonas-mb6cf]

You explain so good that eaven a swede understand 😉thx for great video it helps alot for a beginner like me, tooling is my next step to try to learn

[@nathank4708]

My dad started leather work in 1971 he passed 2 years ago. I got all his tools and leather. All i have now is tan kote . Not resoline. Can i use top coat the same way. I have only started doing bigger projects. Not just key chains😂

[@SquatchZone]

What do you do when you cannot have those products in your state?

EXELENTE SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO HACES UN BUEN TRABAJO

[@joemeling3216]

Gracias. Te aprecio.

[@katiegriffith6281]

This is awesome!! A related question…I use Pro Dye and have gone back and forth between neatsfoot or olive oil right after dyeing like this, but recently, as the dye or dye/oil dry I get a metallic/oil (rainbow cast) look…any ideas or thoughts on that??? I’ve never had that problem before until recently.

[@anibal_cuero_de_arte]

Me preguntaba si podría usar el patrón que le compré ayer de hojas de roble y bellotas para hacer un cinturón y mostrarlo en mi canal , siempre poniendo el enlace a su creación y dándole las gracias por supuesto , si no pues nada , me lo haré para mi😂😂🎉

[@vaquerojoel2026]

Awesome advice Joe, thank you. How would you do a larger surface with the final top coat? Say something like a Bible cover or large toat bag? Would you just do it in small sections?

[@sirhance]

Is there any chance you could do a short video on how to repair the 'camouflage' dye that has been applied to the leather

[@Yewdales]

Good video presentation. One question. Did you buff after dye or oiling at all? Didn't see you do that.

[@morriswomack9952]

What do you do to the edges and back ?

[@blueshirtmonday]

Does the kit come with an old sock? 😅 Great video Joe! Super easy to follow

[@stephaniehays1660]

confuzzled - the 23+ January billfold you oiled before dying. is an interchangeable step?

[@robertobulgheroni4525]

hi joe! thanks for this video! I have a question for you, is it possible to apply wax or balm after a few months to soften and rehydrate the leather? Do the layers of resolene allow absorption or do they create some kind of barrier?

[@nathank4708]

I was told to use saddle soap after cpl months. Keep in mind i just started cpl yrs ago.

[@rickyrygg7188]

So what do you use if you are in California,the pro dyes won't ship here

[@nathank4708]

Nothing is allowed to ship to cali. 😂 jk

[@ClenioBuilder]

🤜🤛

[@megsssman400]

Where can I buy the sheepskin that you use as an applicator?

[@joemeling3216]

Well- we are looking to start offering them. You can also buy a full hide and cut it up. Weaver also offers a fleece pack (www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/dressing-fleece-pack-of-8). They work ok but I like the sheepskin better.

[@chrisfournier6144]

Any good paint store that sells clear floor finishes carries fleece applicators and the size will keep you in fleece for years.

[@HelenaLundqvist-eq4qz]

Why resoline before antik? Why not tan-kote?

[@mikestoning5536]

The important part is to use a resist, there are a few, and to make sure it's dry before applying the antique.
