I am painting shoes and strassing them. Is using a sealant after painting necessary?

Using sealant is always a good idea. This helps lock in all color and prevents water and other damage

i think it varies with the shoe and the material. i plan to respray at the first sign of a spot. the suede boots i sprayed a year ago are still protected. follow the instructions exactly ... 2 coats, 24 hours apart before you wear the shoes. the denim Doc Martens are still perfect as well

I bought this sealer and the container says to apply two coats. Are two necessary?

After trying out an EZ runner, and a glue pen I just use a glue stick for construction, its much tidier. I hadn't thought about the sealant, sorry.

I put my shoes in the over at the lowest temp (170) on a small towel for a few minutes. Pull them out and apply. The leather soaks the Sno-seal right in. Been using this product for 25 years.

I painted a pair of boots i have. Theyre not real leather but that fake shiny pleather and it worked great. It stuck really well. It covered nicely. I painted a black boot red and none of the black came through. It dried quickly. I did it overnight. I only used maybe two coats.

apply the shoe polish on the shoes as if you were going to polish them by hand, then use the buffer, black brush, the top it off with the use of the red brush

I wouldn't. I can't find it now but I think remember reading that this formula is intended for synthetics. I'd use waterproofing spray for suede/nubuck shoes on suede.

This is a cleaner/ conditioner, so you would apply this to the shoe before waterproofing.

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.

I just give it one good coating all around the boot. Just put newspaper underneath the boots when you spray them because the stuff is kind of slick & slippery when it dries.

Absolutely. Some pieces I have sealed with a polyeurothane spray, with no problems to the finish.

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I believe the answer is no. The directions state that the surface needs to be clean and dry and free of waxing or coatings. I take that to mean that all previous sealents need to be removed. I hope that helps.

not necessarily. It all depends on if your real big on detail. if u are then I highly recommend painting before gluing. if not then u can paint after u glue.

I used it on my shoes. While there isn't a residue when rubbed in and then polished it does change the colour and it is viscious when it leaks from the bottle.

If you paint is not oxidized, yes apply after clay, follow up with wax and then a sealant for great protection

You need to scuff the surface with a scotchbrite pad, remove all the grease with a tac rag, then apply createx base coat sealer - white or black. leave 24 hours, come back, and clear coat it. wait 24 hours, come back, scuff it with the pad again and remove all the dust etc, paint your design, clear coat it 3-4 coats, leave 24 hours. voila!
