Question on Grip Finishes

G.T. · 06-08-2012, 09:26 PM

Hi Rich... Aniline dye is what all the big shots have been using for decades, and nearly centuries... It doesn't have any particles suspended, so you get a clear and true color.. Leather dye shops are the best place to start... They are alcohol, oil, or water based.. and easy to use... finish is linseed oil, varnish, or my fav...Danish oil...which is a bit of both?? But, if i had to bet, I'd bet varnish... spray it on 5 min's later, it's dry!..If you need any help let me know... I'll try as best i can...

... Best to you, til...lat'r...GT...
