I've been using the Fieblings pro dye on some pouches and still got a lot of dye rubbing off, even after finishing with carnuba cream and renapur wax, or tan kote. Didn't want to use resolene on the pouches as I find it a bit shiny and plasticky looking for those.

Do you apply neatsfoot oil to everything Hamish, or just specific items? And do you ever use carrauba cream?
Aye, absolutely everything gets a light coating of it either before or after dye. I've used carnauba cream in the past but didn't fancy it myself so never replaced it. May pick another one up sometime and give it another go. Again there is no right or wrong, just what works for each individual
Can't say as I've never used neat foot before tooling. It's great stuff for keeping it supple though, especially as dye can stiffen it now and thenIs it right that a coat of neatsfoot acts as a barrier to water to stop the leather hardening while you're working it?
I've got neatsfoot oil and carrauba cream, but yet to use either... I've been giving things a coat of tan kote... and used the super shene twice. Grabbed some edge kote as well, but not used that yet... should be doing when the Saw of Nephilim needs a case.
