    >>> Bag 1 Pic 1 - Wrinkles on top and bottom

    Wrinkles are when the leather becomes too tired without the sufficient fatliquor (fat and oil) originally tanned or hydrogen bond with the protein leather fiber with about 14% into the leather from a rawhide.
    It is the fat that plumps the leather fiber with fullness and the oil that lubricates for flexibility and suppleness. Since fatliquor is VOC (volatile organic compound) it diminishes through time and will require period rejuvenating to maintain the original appearance perpetually. Leather rejuvenating to rectify wrinkles is by Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 system.

    >>> Bag 1 Pic 2 - rubbed corners

    Rubbed corners accelerate when the surface is not protected with rub-resistant protection. Routine protection with Protector-B/B+ reduces friction rubbed corners.


    >>> Bag 2 Pic 3 and pic 7 - Darken Marks
    These darken marks look like mold/fungus root systems beneath the surface that shows through. There is no way to remove them, since the roots are below the surface. The only solution is to re-dye it dark-brown or black with Aniline-76 > AnilineTop-76G system so as to camouflage it. KillMold-3.6

    >>>Pic 4 and 5 - rubbed edges
    Rubbed smooth edges are repaired by either AnilineTop76G or rough up edges will need Bond-3D to bond the loose skin smooth.

    Hi Roger,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Bag 1: if the wrinkles have micro-cracks, is there anyway to fix it?

    Bag 2:
    - will there be a texture difference if i apply AnilineTop76G only on the rubbed edges /corners or should i be applying AnilineTop76G on the whole bag?

    - If AnilineTop76G does not help and I want to use Bond-3D, how do i remove the applied AnilineTop76G?

    -can you let me know what is the step process of when to apply bond-3d?

    Thank you

    Are you referring to the topcoat that cracks, then use AnilineTop-76 after a fine sanding with 2000 grit.


    >>> Bag 2:
    - will there be a texture difference if i apply AnilineTop76G only on the rubbed edges /corners or should i be applying AnilineTop76G on the whole bag?


    The whole bag is recommended after a restorative cleaning and the surface is free from grease. Surfactant-3.6 is formulated to inspect surface tension to avoid blotchiness. Any heavy abrasion will need Bond-3D.


    >>> - If AnilineTop76G does not help and I want to use Bond-3D, how do i remove the applied AnilineTop76G?


    No need to remove the AnilineTop-76G, but fine sanding is recommended for better adhesion.
