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

I recently got my hands on Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene, and let me tell you, it has completely transformed my leatherworking projects! What I Love: Incredible Shine: This stuff delivers a truly professional, high-gloss finish that I just couldn't achieve with other sealants. It brings out the richness of the leather color beautifully. Durability: My finished pieces feel so much more robust now. It provides a fantastic protective layer against scuffs and moisture, giving me confidence in the longevity of my work. Ease of Application: Applying Resolene is a breeze. I used a sponge applicator, and it went on smoothly and evenly with no streaks or blotches. It dries relatively quickly too! Versatility: I've used it on everything from wallets and belts to journal covers, and it performs exceptionally well on all of them. It's become my go-to topcoat. No Stickiness: Unlike some other finishes, Resolene dries completely tack-free, which is a huge plus. No worries about dust sticking to your freshly finished leather! A Must-Have for Leather Enthusiasts! If you're serious about leather crafting and want that extra polish and protection, you absolutely need Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene. It's worth every penny and has elevated the quality of my finished products significantly. Highly, highly recommend!

All I can say is this stuff is remarkably the BEST I have ever used on my shoes and purses. Dries super quick and leaves a wonderful fresh finish. Beautiful color and great quality.

This is a good product for restoring the finish on certain leather items. I have used Fiebing's to restore the finish on my steering wheel, fix worn spots on leather car seats, shoes and belts.

I originally ordered Feibing's dye to dye a belt. I still had almost the entire bottle left so I pulled out some old leather boots I had picked up from the thrift store that were really sad and worn looking and were in desperate need of some lovin'. I didn't have any leather deglazer but I did have some 100% acetone in my nail polish drawer that took the shiny coating off the boots really well (and its super cheap). After the acetone dried (and I had recovered from the brain cells I lost from doing this project in the windowless bathroom...seriously do this outside) I went over the boots a few times with the dye on wool daubers. After the dye dried, I gave the boots a few LIGHT coats of the resolene (I diluted the resolene with water to about a 50:50 ratio because I didn't want the boots SUPER shiny) that I applied with a damp sponge, per some advice from a few people on some leatherworking forums online. I am SO happy with how they came out!! They are beautiful and honestly look better than brand new. Such an easy fix for cheap boots you find at yard sales and second hand stores! NOTE :: Depending on the dye you choose, the dye is DARK. If you apply resolene on top, it gets EVEN DARKER. The belt I dyed (picture attached) came out almost black looking after I applied the resolene (I didn't dilute it). This wasn't a huge deal to me, but if you are wavering between two colors, definitely start with the lighter one...you can go back over it with a darker one if need be but you can't go back very easily and take off dye that is too dark. You know those instructions that say 'its best to test on an inconspicuous area or scrap first' ? I'm all for ignoring directions but in this case that is a really good idea :) I'm knocking off a star for lack of helpful directions. The best way I found to apply the resolene is with a damp sponge, as I mentioned earlier. I also dilute it 50:50 with water to cut the shine a bit. Its very flexible and doesn't crack along the creases of my boots.

I use this when I was making a holster and it does help seal it so that none of the leather comes in contact with the item that the holster is holding I like it then it did give it a nice shine too

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.

Good stuff, I'll be buying more.

Love this stuff

Ottimo ma consiglio diluirlo leggermente in acqua

Very good product

efficace

Use a brush and don't over do it. Let It dry first before you do second coating.

Buen producto, yo lo aplico con una esponja húmeda, da un acabado satinado, quizá semibrillante, pero resalta muy bien las cualidades del cuero. Cura rápido. Y deja una capa repelente al agua.
