The Seiwa Tokonole Leather Finish Burnishing Gum in Brown is designed for leather crafters looking to achieve a smooth, glossy, and protected finish on their projects. Its wide-mouthed design allows for easy application with a spatula, and the rounded bottom ensures no product is wasted. While it excels at creating a beautiful gloss and protecting leather from dirt, users should be aware that it is a clear color and may alter the appearance of very dark leathers if applied too heavily.

It is primarily used as a leather finishing and burnishing agent, especially effective on the flesh side (rough side) of vegetable-tanned leather edges to create a smooth, glossy, and sealed finish.
While it can be applied to the grain side for a gloss finish, its main benefit and intended use is for burnishing the flesh side and edges of leather.
The 'clear color' means the product dries transparently. It enhances the natural color of the leather without adding pigment, though a very thick application might slightly alter the tone.
Drying time varies depending on application thickness, humidity, and temperature. It typically becomes tacky within minutes, allowing for burnishing, and fully dries within an hour or two.
A little goes a long way. Apply a thin, even layer. Excessive application can lead to uneven results or prolonged drying times.
The product is composed of natural glue, natural wax, and synthetic resin, designed to work together for effective leather finishing.
Yes, due to its ease of application and clear finish, it's suitable for beginners looking to improve the appearance and durability of their leather edges.
Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use. If slightly dried, add a very small amount of water (a few drops) and mix thoroughly. Avoid adding too much water, which can make it too thin.
Ensure the leather edge is clean and free of debris. Apply a thin, even layer of Tokonole. Allow it to become slightly tacky before burnishing. Use a good quality burnishing tool and sufficient pressure.
This can occur if too much product is applied or if it dries too quickly. Apply a thinner layer and ensure even coverage. If residue appears, try burnishing again with a slightly damp cloth or a clean burnisher.
Gently stir the product to recombine the natural glue, natural wax, and synthetic resin components. This is normal for products with natural ingredients.
Setup: No complex setup is required. The product is ready to use directly from the container.
Compatibility: This product is primarily designed for use on the flesh side (rough side) of vegetable-tanned leather. It is compatible with various leather finishing agents and can be applied with tools such as spatulas, daubers, or even fingers (ensure hands are clean).
