Topcoat treatment for black lambskin

[baglover]

I’ve tested the topcoat on a small leather bag. Some areas appear fuller than others. Should I buff the dull areas and apply again?

Not sure what you mean by "fuller"?

To topcoat shine with AnilineTop-76G, there is no need to buff-to-shine it.

What did you use for the application?

I use a facial foundation brush.

Sorry, it’s a typo: “duller”. Like some parts are dull even after applying additional coats of topcoat.

I used the foam brush provided.

Please use a clean brush and test again.

It is strange that you want to remove the excess shine on your post #56?

And you have a shine problem on your test.

I wash the foam brush with water after each use.

The Chanel lambskin has no surface flaws, so it’s easy to get a shiny surface.

The test bag has been quite scuffed. I have buffed the areas with sandpaper, but you can see the dull patches near the edges. Please see the photo showing both shiny and dull patches. Do I buff the area and use topcoat again?

The prepared surface has to be uniform in appearance as the AnilineTop-76G will further magnify the beauty/flaws of the surface.

After using the test bag a few times, the topcoat appears to flake off. How do I repair this? Is there a way to make the topcoat adhere better?

Explain to us the steps you have taken to topcoat it and I will try to trouble-shoot for you where you have gone wrong.

Acidifier to clean the leather > hydrator > fatliquor > topcoat

By the way, what can I do to smoothen the surface of the black bag after using Stripper? Are my previous post.
