How to work with Matte 21?
The leather is inspected especially the penetrated stained area that typically turns dark when soiling particulates resurface. Stretching or deep stretching with a tablespoon, brushing, erasing, or shaving with optional Razor 60 will lighten the appearance. Any sanding required is after the first coating has dried, to smooth out, without damage to the leather grain. Coating with a lint-free folding towel is recommended as the first coating to ensure adhesion promotion and pick up residual soiling. Other application methods may include foam brushing, a soft touch varnishing brush to reduce streaks, and airbrushing to produce professional results. Let dry between the coatings and further fine sanding to smooth out continues in between coatings to satisfaction. Let the topcoat cure overnight for extra strength and inspection before the nonstick protection application.
