Leather Firmer

Using heavy suede lining and 9-10 ounce veg tanned Hermann Oak leather to make holsters for the first time, warm water blocking would not firm up much at all, so I used the Leather Firmer for the first time also. Online instructions were: "using a wool dauber in a circular motion, apply a thin layer to the suede and repeat on the exterior then repeat as needed until desired firmness achieved" Hmmm, tedious. I poured the quart into a bucket and dipped each holster until no more soak up was noted, re-blocked and allowed to completely dry before any topcoat was applied. It appears that it worked very well. Image was taken before topcoat.

This product works great for stiffening/ hardening up a finished leather product. I've only used it on 7-8 oz veg tan to firm up some knife sheaths and a holster that were a little too close to belly leather. Hardened them up just right.

Great product
