Treating Leather
Sir William:
This is a request for tips on how to deal with dyed but unsealed leather. I just got some arms and legs done by West Coast Armory and while nicely made, the dye gets all over while I'm handling it and I'm thinking I need to rub it down with something to seal in the color. Any thoughts, fellows?

Let me see what I use at home and I will let you know...the leather on my rig is sealed with it and doesn't run

Sir James A:
I think the general consensus with armor is to seal it with wax. Historically, they waxed their points/laces, so waxing the leather wouldn't be out of the question. I certainly defer to anyone who knows for sure, as I am just making a guess.
Sir Brian:
Well according to the the great and mysterious oracle 'Google' this should do the trick: ;)
