Sealing a bag strap

[Captain Ron Solo]

Does anyone know what Todd and others use to seal the back of the leather straps and other items to keep the color from bleeding and prevent that leather "dandruff" from getting all over everything? I found a supplier on eBay of excellent leather straps that work well for bag straps, but they're a little raw. If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it. And if anyone would like the link to that supplier on eBay, pm me, and I'll pass it along. These are very heavy duty straps, much heavier than the one I got from Todd. (No offense, Todd! )

This is what I used on the back of the straps I made. I thinned it down with water because it goes on pretty thick (its like rubbery acrylic paint). Hope it helps!
