Tips For Patent Leather
Clean surface thoroughly for best paint adhesion.
Works best on smooth leathers/faux-leathers.
Stir bottle instead of shake. If you shake, let it set for 15 min to allow bubbles to disappear.
Work swiftly and do not over brush.
If working in an area that overlaps (like a purse that has a flap for instance) cover that area with wax paper or freezer paper.
Watch for drips on vertical areas and immediately smooth out with brush.
Let dry completely and apply second coat if needed.
Covers in one to two coats depending on color of surface and color of paint.
