How and Why: Deglazing Leather 

Informative. No fluff. Easy to follow. Subscribed. Nice job.

What about using IPA on a leather steering wheel to remove silicon (and ceramic coating) contamination?

Thanks for the info and taking us along with the project and also pointing out how to fix things when they don't go as planned.....Good stuff.....

Im trying to deglaze my mercedes interior(front,pass, rear seats) I already purchased Angelus deglazer. The seats were painted red with cheap leather paint and is cracking very bad already. Any tips on how I can strip it safely and dye it instead of paint it. Someone told me have to dye it yellow and then red?

Hi, love the video! My husband took a cordovan belt in to a shop to get refurbished. The color dyed ended up a muddy brown. He doesn’t like the color. Do you possibly know if I could dye it back to cordovan? Thanks for any advice

I found it interesting exposing leather to acetone to try strip out its dye and create a rougher finish on it , It could take leather from a very dark brown to a lighter red like color which i did to make the leather better suited for laser engraving experiments on it 🙂 , was leather from scrap furniture i believe.

is there ANY way to remove the dye? can you sand it off or is there a product to REMOVE the dye? Does Acetone REMOVE the dye?

I have polished leather shoes (spazzolato high-shine calf leather, not patent leather) that are too shiny. Is it possible to remove the finish with alcohol?

Can you deglaze patent leather? I have a patent leather bag I want to turn to just leather and I’m finding out it just may be impossible lol

Hi Mr. Tolly. Fellow fatman and former Minnesotan (now Montanan) here. I had a pair of matching holsters made. The maker did a great job with everything but the color. They turned out several shades lighter than the photos on his website. His prices are great for the quality hand tooling work he does...so I figured instead of returning the pieces and have him fix the color issues...I'd just fix em myself. That way I hope to get the color just right. He supposedly finished the pieces with "Eco-flo Mahogany Gel Antique" and "Fiebing's Leather Balm w/Atom Wax". I was wondering what to expect by removing the finish? Is ISO alcohol strong enough to remove the leather balm...and is it likely to also remove the Antique? Or do I need to step up to deglazer? My plan is to redye with "Eco-flo Saddle Tan Highlight Finish" and reapply the Gel Antique and Leather Balm. Do you see any issues with my plan...IE: will the Gel Antique stick after the Highlight Finish...or will that "Finish" act as a resist to the Antique? Thanks for the video...and any advice would be greatly appreciated, Nate.

I guess it safe to say only apply acrylic top coats when the temperature is warm sense it a water base product?? ✌🏻

Hello. May I ask what tanne coat you used? Like what it's made of? I liked the shine of it.

any opinion on using denatured alcohol on deglazing??

Hi there, thank you for the video! You mention using neatsfoot oil to soften up veg tan leather after deglazing--would you use this for chrome tan leather as well?

Really nice video. Thank you!
