Will these paints stick to leather? Has anyone tried this?

Gosh, I would have never thought of that. I guess it might depend on what the leather is being used for. If it's a belt or something that would be worn a lot, my guess would be no. If it's for like a wall hanging or something that is stationary and won't have any wear and tear, it might work. But then on the other hand, I'm no Martha Stewart, so what do I know!! If you haven't already looked, check out Martha's website. There may be more detailed information there? Good luck with your project!

No, leather is slick and it will not stay on your chair. They are hard to stay on our chairs, and we have fabric chairs

That's an idea. I'll try this weekend and see what happens. They might actually stick better to a metal surface than a painted surface. I'll put up another response in a couple days.

hey Tracey, I bought the oil based sharpies and have been fairly pleased with them. especially on mugs. I also painted on wine glasses and was fairly pleased with results

As long as the painting does not have a high gloss sheen, there should be no problem. The Clear-Seal is a blended urethane acrylic and will adhere to any standard oil or water based paint. if there is a high gloss sheen, you would need to use a deglossing chemical or a very fine sandpaper. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best Regards, George Carson Exterior Performance Coatings 630-675-4509

No it will not work on leather. I would try something like Shoe Glue for that. You can find that at a hardware store.

These are great paints,yrs out should work if the plastic is not overly glossy.

Did you try the paint on the wine glasses yet? If so, do you just wash the glasses by hand & did the paint start to fade after several washes? Thanks, love your idea.

It will not leave your leather sticky, but we do recommend you test it first on a small inconspicuous area before treating the entire piece.

I did have the problem of Leather Dye wiping off and rubbing off onto my clothes from a handbag I dyed. I used Resolene as a top coat and it seems to have fixed the problem. Now I only use acrylic dyes for shoes and handbags.

Never tried it on leather. It can make surfaces sticky when sprayed though.

All the special leather paints I know of are acrylic paints, that is they're water based. Since obenaufs is a waterproofing wax it would definitely keep the paint from sticking to the leather so don't use this or any other oil-like leather conditioner as a sealer. Angelus leather paint sells a solution to prep leather to be painted, or you can use acetone to prepare the leather before painting. Acetone works by removing the oils from the leather so the paint will stick better, so obenaufs is the last product you want to use since you want the leather to have as little oil as possible so the paint sticks.

Although I have used it on many surfaces, I have not used it on leather. Sorry I cannot help you with this question.

That's a tough question to answer. I think this product may do that, since it intends to seal the leather. With constant wear the coating could wear off and stain your clothes. This isn't really a "clear coat" that establishes a glossy layer on your leather, its more of a hydrophobic treatment. I think you should probably look for a "Heavy-Duty Resin-Based Waterproofing Spray" (hint).

I have not tried it but I would think it will work since they are paint markers, I love them! Hope this helps

that's really interesting. I've used this paint on wood, metal, glass, resin and plaster. Never had any issue of anything being sticky.
