baglover replied to a thread Topcoat treatment for black lambskin in Chanel Bag Forum

Would this aggravate the minor scuffs on the back pocket edge? Do I need to use Adhesor or Bond to smoothen out the scuff?

For this kit, should I use the Aniline 21 or Aniline 76 topcoat? I notice that you usually recommend the “heavy” Aniline 76.
