Fiebing's Antique Finish 118 ml: Black

Fiebing's Antique Finish is a specialized paste designed to create a deep two-tone patina that gives leather products a well-defined antique look. This product is used for highlighting the natural structure of leather and, above all, for bringing out the details in hand tooling or stamped patterns.

The paste settles into recesses, cuts, and perforations, creating strong contrast effects and giving the surface a rich character that enhances the craftsmanship of the leatherwork.

Key Features for Production:

• Detail Enhancement: Effectively fills tooling and cuts, visually separating the pattern from the leather surface.
• Two-Tone Patina: Creates a natural color transition and gives the product a rustic appearance.
• Rich Sheen: Once dry and buffed, it leaves the grain side with a subtle yet deep sheen.

Recommended Application:

Before applying the paste, a barrier coat (resist) such as Fiebing's Pro Resist or Tan Kote may be applied to selected areas. This ensures that the paste does not absorb into the grain and that maximum contrast is achieved. Apply Antique Finish generously using circular motions. Immediately wipe excess paste from the raised areas (with a cloth or wool). Allow it to dry thoroughly, then buff the surface with a soft cloth.

Fixing and Protection:

Antique Finish is not water-resistant, so it must always be sealed with a final topcoat after drying. For maximum protection, we recommend applying a thin layer of Fiebing's Resolene #2270-01.

Not suitable for suede or nubuck leather.
