Gliptone Scuffmaster dye application
I posted this on the interior forum but I don't think anyone ever replies.
I bought some Scuffmaster gliptone dye for my X type a few months ago and have never opened it. The product should still be fine, correct?
If I use a aerosol (not a paint gun) to apply, do I need to dilute it with water?
Also, I have read that some guys use a "clearcoat" on top of it....my order only came with some sponges and the bottle of dye. No clearcoat on the package or instructions. Do I need this coating on top of the dye??
Thanks!!

The instructions say:
With professional spraying equipment dilute 10 - 20%
With a hobby gun dilute 15 - 25%
Then leave to dry and leave for another 24 hours before using the leather, which should dry to a matt finish.
There is a gloss enhancer available for a more shiny finish
Seems the difference between scuffmaster and flexicote is the flexicote uses a top coat sealant.
Also
" Our system does NOT involve a top coat sealant which if applied incorrectly can cause dye to transfer to clothing, our dye does not need a sealant. "
