FIEBING RESOLENE NEUTRAL

Fiebing’s Resolene Neutral is a flexible, durable, water resistant acrylic top finish for dyed, antiqued or polished leathers. It produces a medium to high gloss finish. 

Fiebing Resolene Neutral is one of the most trusted and widely used leather finishes in the world — known for its ability to seal, protect, and enhance dyed or natural leather with a smooth, flexible coating. Designed for professionals and DIY leatherworkers alike, this high-quality acrylic top finish delivers a durable, water-resistant layer that maintains the natural beauty of leather while adding a subtle gloss.

Made in the USA, Fiebing Resolene Neutral is a versatile, all-purpose leather finish that works perfectly on saddles, belts, bags, shoes, upholstery, tack, and any leather project that requires long-lasting protection and shine. It is formulated to be transparent, making it ideal for both light and dark leathers without altering the original color or tone.

Unlike many finishes that crack or peel over time, Fiebing Resolene forms a flexible barrier that moves with the leather. It protects against moisture, scuffs, dirt, and fading — extending the life of your leather goods. Its neutral tone allows you to apply it over any dye color, ensuring the result stays true to your desired shade.

Easy to apply with a sponge, soft cloth, or spray, Resolene dries evenly and gives a professional-grade finish that resists rubbing off. It’s perfect for achieving that polished, showroom-ready appearance while keeping your leather soft and supple underneath.

Whether you’re a craftsman producing high-end leather goods or a hobbyist maintaining your personal collection, Fiebing Resolene Neutral provides the perfect balance of aesthetics and protection.
