Rebuilt my website

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 2:38 PM
Finally got my website rebuilt. I felt the last one turned out really bad. This one is not going to win any awards but I think its easy to use and fun to look at.
Wife and I are working on belts ... should be ready to put on a show in a town near us this weekend and if not that then the following. Glad I didn't try for this weekend, the weather is super bad.

Ok I'll stop there and I have another belt on my desk todo....
If you want to check out my website and let me know what you think...>> [link]

later

Here are two more replies from saddle builders that may help you. I sure hope this helps.

Use a 2 light coats of Tan-Cote before using the Neat-Lac. This method will not peel off. I have used this method quite a bit over my 37 years tinkering with leather. Also make sure that the Neat-Lac coats are light also.
============================
If the Neatlac is peeling or flaking, you have probably applied to much.

I use Neatlac as a resist, for the Sheridan style finish, and I use it sparingly. I apply with a piece of 3/4 inch length wool skin, the real stuff, not the imitation. I place the wool skin over the opening of the container, tip the container, then drag the wool over it, to remove most of the Neatlac from the wool. Then, I work it into the leather, using a circular motion. I have yet to have the finish crack.
~larrysleather:iconlarrysleather: Dec 31, 2007, 3:24:05 PM
I don't use Neat Lac so I asked your question in a qroup I belong to and here is the answer I got:

Can someone help me with this question that a person asked me? I use leather sheen and satin sheen.

"Do you know if Neat Lac is meant to be used over oil dyes? I'm making a saddle bag and used Neat Lac for finish, but now the finish is starting to peel off the stressed points, particularly the straps"
=========================

The Tandy catalog says it can be used over all penetrating dyes. But do not use with Cova Color
================
Neat Lac has a habit of doing that over any type dye. You need to use very, very light coats of neat lac and it still might peel.
NOTE: Probably will here more in the next few days and I'll pass it on to you. Hope this helps.
