FAQs

Can I use this on suede or nubuck?

No, this product is specifically formulated for finished leathers and will ruin the texture of suede or nubuck.

How many coats should I apply?

For most projects, 1 to 2 thin, even coats are sufficient to provide both shine and protection.

Is this finish water-resistant?

Yes, the sealer adds a layer of protection that helps repel water and light surface moisture.

Can I use this over leather paint?

Yes, it is designed specifically to be used as a topcoat over leather paints and dyes.

Does this change the color of my leather?

The Gloss finish is clear and will not change the underlying color, though it may darken the look slightly due to the added sheen.

Troubleshooting

The finish looks streaky after application.

You may have applied too much product at once. Use a thinner layer and ensure your applicator tool is clean and damp but not soaking.

The finish is peeling off shortly after use.

This usually indicates the leather was not properly cleaned or deglazed before the paint or sealer was applied, preventing proper adhesion.

The finish remains tacky even after hours.

High humidity or a thick application can delay drying. Allow the piece to sit in a dry, ventilated area for an additional 24 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a professional high-gloss shine
  • Effective at preventing color transfer and fading
  • Easy to apply with a brush or sponge
  • Quick-drying for faster project completion
  • Adds essential protection against environmental damage

Cons

  • Gloss finish may emphasize surface imperfections if not applied evenly
  • Not intended for use on suede or nubuck leathers
  • Requires careful preparation of the leather surface for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure the leather is free of dust, oils, and waxes; using a leather preparer or deglazer is highly recommended. Apply the sealer in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper curing.

  • Compatibility: Safe for use on finished leather, including trainers, boots, and accessories. Do not use on porous materials like suede or nubuck.
  • Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightened firmly after each use to prevent the formula from thickening. If the brush used for application becomes stiff, rinse it immediately with warm water and mild soap.
