Description
The 125ml MR MAC Leathercraft Antique Finish is a water-soluble leather colouring and antiquing formula designed to enhance raw, natural and vegetable-tanned leather. It adds rich colour while settling into the recessed areas of carved, tooled and stamped patterns, creating greater depth, definition and contrast.
This antique finish is particularly effective on decorative leatherwork where the finer details need to stand out. It can be used on belts, wallets, saddlery, knife sheaths, bags, cases and many other handcrafted leather projects. The convenient 125ml bottle is ideal for smaller projects, occasional leatherworkers or experimenting with different antique colours.
For the best result, apply a generous, even coat over the prepared leather. Just before the finish dries, wipe away the excess from the raised surfaces, allowing the colour to remain in the recessed areas. Additional coats can be applied until the desired colour and contrast are achieved.

Why Choose MR MAC Antique Finish?
This leather antique finish allows the recessed details of tooling and stamping to retain deeper colour while the raised areas are wiped back. The result is a traditional antiqued appearance with clearly defined patterns and professional-looking contrast.
Its water-soluble formula is easy to apply and allows the colour intensity to be built gradually through additional coats. The compact 125ml size is also convenient when only a smaller quantity is required.
How to Apply
Apply the antique finish evenly using a sponge, soft cloth or suitable applicator. Work it thoroughly into all carved and stamped recesses. Before it dries completely, wipe the excess from the raised leather surfaces with a clean cloth. Repeat the process if a deeper colour or stronger contrast is desired.
Always test the finish on a scrap piece or an inconspicuous section of the same leather before completing the entire project.
