Fiebing'sAcrylic Resolene (4 oz, Neutral) - Protective Acrylic Leather Finisher - Glossy Finish Top Coat for Dyed & Polished Leathercraft - Flexible, Durable, Water Resistant for Boots, Couch, Purse

I bought an old leather bag in England and was frustrated to find that the leather stained my clothes. I scoured the internet for a solution to "seal" the leather without ruining the fantastic leather texture of the bag.This stuff worked as directed. It provided a thin, transparent coat that has kept the leather stain from transferring, and the bag still looks great.I recommend if you are also having this issue!

I’m new to leather refinishing and crafts so I used this as a sealant for a leather purse re-dye project after seeing it recommended a lot online. I used alcohol-based Angelus leather dye and I found that I got the best results by diluting the Resolene 50/50 with water and putting it in a small spray bottle. Working in small sections, I did a few coats by spraying a little at a time and gently blotting the excess with a dry cloth. It looks great on the finished product and almost no dye lifting!

I was touching up my travel bag which had taken a beating on the road. I used a q-tip dipped in the black Fiebings Leather Dye so as to not get dye on the cream stitching, and then used the Fiebings applicator on the large open areas of the bag (went faster than the q-tip:)). Worked beautifully. After drying for a couple of days (just to make sure) I buffed the leather, and then I was ready for the Resolene. Per info on the internet, I diluted a small amount of the Resolene 50% with water. Then took a soft rag and applied the Resolene (it is a cream texture) to the entire bag using circular motions. I let it dry for several hours and then put a second coat on it and let it dry. I then buffed the bag with a soft cloth. Applied some leather conditioner to finish it off, and buffed to a lovely soft natural finish. Resolene did exactly what it needed to (stop the dye from rubbing off), but without creating any type of unnatural glossy finish. THe leather is soft to the touch and supple - exactly what I wanted. I found the Resolene easy to apply, with no unpleasant fumes. I did not get any streaking, as some people have mentioned in other reviews posted here. It worked like a charm for me. I did two coats of the Resolene on the bag that is pictured here, and the bottle is still practically full.

This product works great but I think it’s mostly acetone, so you get more acetone for the same price. Still a great product!

It really has a great deep sheen to the finish. I used it on some knife sheaths that I made. Very professional looking finish.

I have some leather couches that were showing signs of wear. I put some new brown dye on them first to restore the color, and then followed up with several coats of resolene to put a protective layer back on. It was very easy to do and made the couches look like new again! It worked very well to cut off a small piece of sponge, saturate it with water and then squeeze out the excess. Then just turn the bottle over lightly to get a little material on the sponge and apply it to the leather. That seemed to thin out the finish just right.

Love this stuff makes leather nice and shiny and slippery don’t use it on a car seat or steering wheel but looks great on the door panels and belts and jackets etc

This product did exactly what I needed it to do, which basically saved us tons of money! Our dark maroon couch is over 15 years old, and parts of its leather cushions looked more white than maroon due to age, too much sunshine, and just plain old wear and tear. A few weeks ago, I purchased FurnitureClinic Leather Re-Coloring Balm, which did a beautiful job of restoring the color. Only problem was, the color kept rubbing off after it dried. So, I threw a goofy piece of fabric over the cushions until I could figure out the next step. Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene was my product of last resort. It goes on very shiny, then settles in as it dries. And once it dries, IT PASSES THE WIPE TEST! Color is locked in, and our butts are safe. Thank you, Fiebing's!
