Fiebings Tan-Kote (4oz) - Resin Based, Easy-to-Use Top Finish Creates a Mellow Gloss and Rich Shine

From my understanding this product is designed to be applied once all dye and antique is done to protect the finished product and condition the leather. It is not designed to waterproof leather at all. If you are painting designs into tooling leather, use Super Sheen on the painted areas to prevent antique or stains from discoloring. Once all is dry, Tan-Kote could be the final finishing product applied. If you are antique tooling on leather, apply antique stain then if you do not want other colors to bleed into that area, apply the Super Sheen. Super Sheen is a finish conditioner in itself, but can also be used as the final finish to condition leather, but its magic is in protecting areas you have painted or stained or antique that you dont want to change. If you have completed all your dye, staining and/or antique, use Tan-Kote as the final finish to protect and condition leather project. It is a great product, but should not be confused with super sheen nor waterproofing. To waterproof, use mink oil or neatfoot oil or product with those abilities that can also condition but is more to restore, condition and waterproof.

Great Thanks!!!

Quedo muy brillante las maletas de cuero de mi indian

I bought this on the recommendation for a leather messenger bag I was buying. Another buyer recommended it to seal the back to keep the dye from leaking onto clothing. I applied one coat and it worked very well drying relatively quickly. It served its purpose and the bag has not given me any problems with the dye rubbing off on my clothes, so the sealing seemed to work well.

The maker of my holster, Charley Moriarty, recommended it. I dinged mine up hostering before blocking :(, so I scratched it. The Tan Kote made it like new.

Perfect to re-edge your own purse strap. Sand side of strap with emery board, clean off powder, apply light coats to edge with q-tip. Very easy to do yourself with patience and steady hand.

Does what it does

Used this to repair a leather tote. Blended very well with the tote’s camel color. I applied a couple of coats, but went back and applied coats again a few days later. Be patient with this. I used a q-tip to apply it. It might look clear, but it will dry the tan color.

Works great. Its a bit on the thick side, so its more difficult to get an even coat if your project isnt one smooth piece.

Great product, gives a good even finish that ages well.
