leather sheen 1 qt
TULSA, OK — Royaltone’s Leather Sheen is a non-flammable water-based cuir savage leather finish for refinishing cuir savage (aniline) leathers. Leather Sheen is colorless and is used to restore the original satin sheen characteristic of cuir savage (aniline) leather, producing a durable finish that resists abrasion and wear while enhancing the original color and giving a flexible, pliable clear finish to dry porous cuir savage leather.
Leather Sheen can be mixed with the water-based Brit-N Dyes, in the matching color, to restore both the sheen and color to dull faded cuir savage leathers. It must be applied with an air spray gun. It can also be mixed with the water-based Leather Pro Leather Finish, in the matching color to cover unremovable spots and stains and to restore worn surface areas, such as along the edges of cuffs, hems and lapels.
If the cuir savage surface sheen, color and skin surface are worn, the item can be sprayed with a mix of equal parts of Leather Sheen Clear Leather Finish, Brit-n Dye and Leather Pro Color Leather Finish in the original matching color. This azeotropic mix restores the surface of the skin, the color and the sheen in one application. Leather Sheen can be cleaned up with water before it dries.
