Description
500ml MR MAC Leathercraft Antique Finish is a water-soluble leather colouring and antiquing product designed for raw, natural and vegetable-tanned leather. It adds rich colour while enhancing the recessed areas of carved, stamped and tooled patterns, creating greater contrast, depth and definition.
This leather antique finish settles into grooves, impressions and textured areas. The raised surfaces can then be wiped clean, leaving a darker antique effect in the recessed sections. It is ideal for giving newly crafted leather a traditional, aged and professionally finished appearance.
The formula contains a built-in lacquer and sealer, so a separate sealing product is generally unnecessary. For additional shine and surface protection, MR MAC Seal & Shine can be applied after the antique finish has dried completely.

How to Apply
Make sure the leather is clean, dry and free from dust, oil and other surface contamination. Test the antique finish on a small piece of matching leather before treating the complete project, as the final colour can vary depending on the leather.
Apply a generous, even coat using a soft cloth, sponge or suitable applicator. Work the finish into all carved, stamped and recessed areas. Just before it dries completely, wipe away the excess from the raised surfaces, allowing the product to remain in the lower sections.
Additional coats can be applied to create a deeper colour or stronger antique effect. Some leathercrafters apply several coats to achieve their preferred result. Allow each coat to dry before applying another.
Why Choose MR MAC Antique Finish?
MR MAC Antique Finish colours and highlights leather in one straightforward application. Its ability to remain in recessed patterns makes it especially useful for displaying detailed carving, stamping and tooling.
The built-in lacquer and sealer simplifies the finishing process, while the water-soluble formula makes it easy to apply. The larger 500ml bottle is an economical choice for regular leathercrafters, workshops and larger leather projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this product colour the leather?
Yes. It changes the colour of raw or natural leather while adding depth and definition to recessed patterns.
Does it need to be sealed?
A separate sealer is generally unnecessary because the formula contains a built-in lacquer and sealer. MR MAC Seal & Shine can be applied if additional shine is desired.
Can it be used on chrome-tanned or finished leather?
It is primarily designed for raw, natural and vegetable-tanned leather. Always test it first because sealed or pre-finished leather may prevent proper absorption.
Can I apply more than one coat?
Yes. Repeat the application process until you achieve the desired colour depth and highlighting effect.
Will the final colour match the colour in the bottle?
Results can vary depending on the leather type, natural colour, absorbency and number of coats applied.
