I visited one of your stores today. Nashville TN, great staff and selection. Our generation needs a craftsman’s renaissance, everything you find is made in China.

After you apply the stains do you need to add any protective coating on top or is the finished piece as is? (I'm very new to leather working)

[Avalonchannel]

After the Gel Antique, How do you seal this or does it need sealed? I usually oil my leather with Balistol as a maintaine/waterproofing. Is there a step needed between these? I'm new to leather craft. Thanks for the help.

I see that he applied the antique with Sheep's wool. I have been told to apply the antique with a damp sponge. I have even been told to put a coat of super sheen on before you antique, then antique, followed by another coat of finish. Can anyone answer or help with this.?? New to leather crafting. So any suggestion South Dakota are appreciated.

waw waw waw fantastica . Can you please tel me what type of leather did you use for this and what is the thickness of the leather ? Thanks alot for your advice .

[eternalrain]

Did you apply any resist before applying these antiques?

[deepdiver]

I don’t see much difference in all three. Can you guys help me choose which is suitable for my needs? I don’t see much difference between all in one and antique gel...

[thequietshodan]

Does anyone know if you can put a top coat (I mostly use super sheen from tandy) with the antique gel or hi-lite dye? All my dyes I use is from tandy.

Hallo, wan machst du Öl ins Leder ? Danke

[naxvseniki]

Thank you for a great video! Always enjoy it! Could you please let me know if I can apply super shene on top of antique finish to seal it - I'm always concern that it will stain the hands once you start using the item (ex. belt or wallet)

[ColoradoMcGees]

Does anyone know if I'm using the gel antique with a combination of alcohol based stains which would be better to use first: there is just some blending not total overlap of all antiqued surfaces.

Would've been nice to see the buffing and result. Otherwise, another great video!

[haroldhesterly]

I am making a Tandy Checkbook Kit. How do I create the fold in the middle? The leather has become quite stiff from the wetness during tooling.

[dakotajones]

after watching this, i think im going to move away from the eco-flo gel and use the hi-lite. i think it just looks better. Great video again.

[ChrisEllerby]

In the first example with the antiquing gel, was the leather treated with anything (oils, seals, stains, etc) prior to the antiquing?

[beathagnicilledhuinn]

Hi Tandy, thanks for all the videos, they're excellent.

I'm new to leather crafting and wanted to ask a question. If I use Eco Flo antique medium brown on my project, do I need to use a top finish afterwards?

Thanks!

Where I can find this product?
Last one you used in this video 🧐

Seems odd that holes for stitches were punched before color applied...Seems col should be done first, before punches and certainly before stitches.
