Happy New Years everyone,
Just a quick question regarding Saphir Renovateur, sorry if I've missed it discussed already. On a pair of Ferragamo monks I've been working on, in a mildly impaired state I started applying Renovateur to the one shoe I had already fully worked and had looking beautiful. It pulled up alot of the pigments from the creme I had been using and left quite an unsightly mess. I was able to buff and redo the creme to achieve the look I had without too much trouble, but is this a normal occurrence? Or perhaps just a case of the creme not having been totally set into the leather? Last coat of creme was applied about 3 days before my accidental re-renovateur application.
Reason I ask is I have a few pairs that have some solid colour work, wondering if an occasional treatment of renovateur might not be a good idea.
Cheers!
