What do you guys usually use to seal after you dye a glove?

 

[etnstudios]

i wonder if "deep saturated leather" is a mis-translation of what they were going for. doesn't really sound like a selling point. what's the quality like on it? looks pretty nice. would also like to know the products you're using for dyeing and sealing.

My favorite is
Eco-Flo Professional finish (MATTE)

But these should all work.
Angelus Acrylic Finisher
Fiebings Leather Balm
Eco Flo Satin Shene (probably essentially the same product as the Eco-Flo Professional finish)
Eco Flo Super Shene

Awesome work Fred! My question is........where do you find all these gloves? When I lock in on something I'm really good at finding it but you have such a varied assortment of gloves! This is one of my favorite threads!

 

[etnstudios]

the new color scheme on the horween TPX looks great!

Thanks you sir!

Play it again, sometimes resale shops. All over. The Mizuno GMP7 my friend had bought but I asked if I could buy it from him, and relive my 30's.

Sidenote, the old TPXs, especially the horsemen USAs are really nice. I assume they were made in the same factory as Rawlings in the late nineties. Nice quality gloves, pads, leather.

Glad you enjoy, I'm having fun doing it, keeps me out of trouble.

Good use of the trap web!

There is more to come.....I was going to keep this glove, but ended up getting a Old 1990's HOH 1B glove. I'm going to keep that instead.
