Tan-kote

[mrappe]

Tan-kote says that it is a finish but it does not say if it is a satin sheen on no gloss at all. What does it look like after application?

[Boothill Bob]

Its kind of semi gloss on it. I've got Tan-Kote on this rig, and a layer of
skidmores.

Which do you put on first the tan-kote or the Skidmores. Also, I have heard people here refering to Skidmorebut when I look it up I see a leather cream and a beeswax waterproofing. To which are you refering?

Thanks

[Boothill Bob]

I put on tan-kote first, often I'll begin with a layer of extra Virgin oliv oil, just remember that it will darken the color some.
I refer to the leather cream. Got a sampel from a gent on this forum, and now I'm stuck on it

This one has 3 coats of Tan-Kote over EVOO.

The EVOO was applied and let dry for over 2 weeks, the Tan-Kote was put on heavy using a wool dobber and immediately wiped down with an old T-shirt leaving only a light cote. Each cote was left to dry overnight and repeated as above.
It makes a nice finish. IMHO

[Boothill Bob]

Best just for holsters and sheaths,or can you use it on other leather projects..Wonder what it would do on the leather wrapping on my dreamcatchers?
