Why Choose MR MAC Leathercraft Antique Finish?
The antique finish remains concentrated in the recessed portions of carved and stamped leather. Excess product is wiped away from the raised surfaces, leaving the lower areas darker and creating a traditional antiqued appearance.
Its water-soluble formula is straightforward to apply, while the colour intensity can be developed through additional applications. The 2.5 litre size is a practical and economical choice for workshops, manufacturers, saddlers and leatherworkers who regularly complete larger projects.
MR MAC Leathercraft Antique Finish also contains a built-in lacquer and sealer, so an additional sealer is generally unnecessary. MR MAC Seal-n-Shine can be applied afterwards when a glossier final appearance is preferred.
How to Apply
Ensure the leather is clean, dry and free from dust, oil or other surface contamination. Apply a generous, even coat using a sponge, soft cloth or suitable applicator, working the product thoroughly into all carved and stamped recesses.
Just before the antique finish dries, wipe the excess from the raised leather surfaces with a clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry and repeat the process if additional colour, depth or contrast is required.
Some projects may require several applications to achieve the desired result. Always test the product on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area of the same leather before treating the complete item.
