Fiebing's Low VOC Deglazer

This stuff actually removes the factory seal without the harsh chemical smell I was dreading. Went on smoothly with a cotton ball and prepped the leather perfectly for a dye job.

This stuff cut through a stubborn layer of wax on an old belt in one pass, and the low odor was a nice bonus for working indoors.

I was skeptical about how well it would strip that factory coating, but one wipe with this deglazer had the leather looking raw and ready for dye. The low VOC formula made it much easier to use indoors without the harsh fumes I was expecting.
