I recently used Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene in Brown to finish the repair work on my favorite pair of boots, and the results are outstanding. After dyeing the leather, I applied this protective finisher, and it provided a beautiful, polished look that truly enhanced the color. The application was straightforward, and I was impressed by how flexible and durable the finish turned out. It created a water-resistant barrier that has kept my boots looking great even in wet conditions. The leather feels more resilient and maintains its shine with minimal effort. This top coat has significantly extended the life of my boots, making them look almost new again. I highly recommend Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene to anyone looking to protect and polish their leather goods. It’s a game-changer for leather care and restoration!

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.

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 used this on an antique wicker case that had leather corners that were so worn they looked like suede and were very soft. I applied with a small paint brush. Now the corners have a nice sheen and are stiffer. Very happy with the result.

Love this product I just put a little to my leather with a foam brush let it dry and it gives it a wonderful shine. I will definitely keep using this product

I recently dyed a motorcycle vest using Fiebing's Black Leather Dye. It did a great job of restoring the color, but the black color would transfer to anything it rubbed up against, not matter how much I buffed it with a clean cloth. I carried the vest to a local shop which deals with leather goods and inquired as to how to stop the transfer. I was sold a product called M&B Quick Shine 48, and told to wipe down the vest with rubbing alcohol prior to applying it. I carefully cleaned the vest and applied 2 coats of the Quick Shine. It was NOT effective in stopping the color transfer. I then did what I should have done to begin with and went to Fiebing's website and discovered the right product for the job is Resolene, a leather finisher. Having put 2 coats of Quick Shine on the vest previously, I used saddlesoap to once again clean the vest. I then let it dry overnight and applied Resolene twice, letting it dry between applications. I did not dilute it. After letting it sit overnight, I wiped it down with a clean, soft cloth and there is no longer a color transfer. It works beautifully!!!

works as expected. needed a couple of coats

Ottimo ma consiglio diluirlo leggermente in acqua

I called to have my leather couch recoloured and the price that I was given was almost $850.00.. I started to look on line to see if it can be done by ordering something for the internet. I found this after searches and much reading. This product had great reviews and when I used it, the product was so easy to use. The couch was just like new again and the product worked better then I had ever thought it would. So glad that I didn’t pay that money that I was quoted and tried this product. The couch turned out great and I still have $850.00 less the cost for this product. 😃

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

este producto ha sellado la pintura sobre el bolso de forma perfecta y aun ahora después de varios meses de uso el cuero esta perfectamente sellado no suelta color y no se agrieta. Muy buen producto

Das Produkt ist sehr empfehlenswert für alle Produkte, die nicht mit Lederfett oder Lederwachs behandelt werden können.
