Description
LeTech CraftLine Waterbased Topcoat – High Gloss Finish for Handcrafted Leather
LeTech CraftLine Waterbased Topcoat (High Gloss) is a premium protective finish designed to give handcrafted leather goods an exceptionally bright, glass-like shine. Formulated with advanced waterbased polymers, it creates a strong, flexible coating that protects leather from rubbing, handling, moisture and surface wear while delivering an ultra-reflective, high-gloss appearance.
Ideal for projects where visual impact is essential, this finish dramatically enhances colour depth and clarity, making the leather look polished, vibrant and professionally finished. Despite its intense shine, the coating remains flexible and does not crack, keeping the leather soft and comfortable in use.

Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Preparation
-
Ensure the leather is clean, dry and coloured or antiqued as desired.
-
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
-
Always test on scrap leather to confirm the final appearance.
2. Application
-
Apply thin, even coats using a sponge, brush or spray gun.
-
Avoid heavy application to prevent streaking or milkiness—thin layers give clearer high gloss.
-
Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
-
Apply 2–5 coats depending on desired shine and durability.
3. Drying & Finishing
-
Once fully dry, leather may be lightly buffed with a soft cloth to enhance the gloss level further.
-
Allow the finish to cure before bending or heavy handling.
-
Additional coats may be added for a deeper, mirror-like shine.
