How to use waterproof spray
Leather products are very delicate when it comes to water and dirt. To prevent water stains and dirt buildup, we recommend regular use of a waterproof spray. (Please use at your own risk.)
However, even with waterproof spray, if the product gets wet, please wipe off the moisture quickly before it soaks into the leather.
Types of Waterproof Spray
You can use a general waterproof spray for leather and clothing that uses fluorine as its main ingredient. Among these, we recommend "Collonil Waterstop" for its high waterproofing performance.
Not to be used:
× Silicone-based
× Oil-based
When to Maintain
It is most effective to use it when the product is new. After that, applying it regularly, once every few months, will maintain its effectiveness.
Types of Leather that Can Be Used
Waterproof spray can be used on all SYRINX leather products. In particular, we recommend using waterproof spray on "aniline-dyed" leather, as it is very delicate to water and dirt.
How to Use
1 Spray the Surface
Remove any dust or debris from the surface with a soft cloth or leather brush, then spray thoroughly until the entire surface is damp. The trick is to spray generously to prevent stains caused by uneven application.
By placing the leather product on a stand and elevating it slightly, you can prevent the liquid from getting onto the back. Do not touch the surface until it is dry to avoid leaving fingerprints.
(Example) Hitoe® Fold Aria - Foschia - Misty Iris
2 Spray the Reverse Side
Once dry, the color will return to its original depth, so flip it over and spray the reverse side in the same way. Foschia leather can be sprayed with the white wax still present. Although it may appear to melt when wet, the white wax texture will return after drying.
3 Dry
Dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Although the surface may appear dry quickly, please refrain from using it for a full day until it is completely dry.
4 Check
Drying is complete when the color variation between the sprayed and unsprayed areas has almost disappeared.
