Tokonole: Instructions for use

Use as a sealant for the flesh side
Apply a thin layer of Tokonole to the split side of the leather using a putty knife or burnisher making sure to smooth surface and remove excess material. When it starts to dry, rub the surface to make it smooth. The right timing to carry out this operation can be perceived by the variation of the color which from white begins to become transparent. For best results, it is recommended to polish the surface again after drying using a cotton cloth.

Use as an edge polish
Apply Tokonole with a finger or a felt pad to the edge of the leather making sure that the product does not get on the surface of the leather (clean the surface if it does). When the product begins to dry, start buffing the edge. After drying, it is recommended to rub the edge with a cotton cloth and polish it to a high shine.
