Learn About Carnauba Crème for Leather Work

"So another thing that's kind of nice for finishing leather is the Canoba Creme which is kind of like a wax. It's a little bit sloppy but fortunately it won't stain your fingers. You can use this in a couple different ways. Again, you kind of want to apply it to one of these little fuzzy kind of dabbers, these little kind of fuzzy fake sheep skin dabbers. You can either apply it kind of right over something that's already been dyed. So I'll kind of do that here. I'm going to apply it pretty thick, I'm going to do a pretty thick coat here and I kind of want to leave it and kind of let it dry. You see, right now it looks kind of streaked, almost as if I'd put like a car polish on it. It's really kind of the same sort of thing, like putting like car polish on, I'm going to put, you can put it over these letters too but you don't have to put it just on the areas that have been dyed. I mean, you can also add it to leather that's basically, otherwise untreated, so I can just put some here also even though I didn't put any dye there. So, I'm just going to kind of apply this sort of liberally and get a lot on there. But then you just want to let it set for a little bit until kind of the moisture soaks in and it looks dry. Then if you go over it a second time, not with more wax, but with just one of these dry kind of chamois cloths, then it'll get a really, really nice sheen to it and it even kind of more polished than it would be if you hadn't used that creme."
