Leather finish
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:44:07 pm »
Would I be totally nuts to spar varnish over my leather arrow pass?  I suppose I'd lose some of the quietness if I did so?  Has anybody done it?

Thanks!

Neetlac is a great product, but Tandy no longer distributes it. I have yet to find a suitable replacement.

Found a leatherworking forum thread about neetlac replacements.

http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=15013&hl=neat+lac

Based on page 1, the frontrunners seem to be "Clearlac", and "RTC".  There are 3 pages though.
