not in my experience, and I’ve used it both on brand new white vachetta and slightly Patina’d vachetta. Just may sure you spray from a reasonable distance and the particles are diffusing properly when you spray.

I just checked in my cupboard and I have Collonil Classic Waterstop & UV Protection. Never even noticed the name when I've been spraying it on my leather bags. Lol! Is the Collonil pro better?

I have the same one (with the UV protection) and have sprayed it on my neverfull vachetta and vachetta tabs on some SLG's with no problem, and they are totally waterproof- i've ran it under tap water just to see, I know I'm mad haha.

Like previous posts, give your vachetta some sunlight briefly maybe a few days or something. Then give the bottle a good shake, spray from a distance evenly in open air outdoors if possible. You'll notice the vachetta goes dark or have uneven dark spots and it freaks you out but it dries within a few seconds and disappears. I once sprayed it on my TP19 vachetta tab on the back and i had a huge blob, looked like an oil stain and I was so gutted but then after 20 minutes it totally disappeared. Doesn't stop it from patina, just protects from rain etc :)

Sunning the vachetta, I'll cover the canvas, anyone else do this to help protect the vachetta?

Ooooh, please share pictures when it’s done sunning :loveeyes: I haven’t done it yet since I prefer my vachetta light for as long as possible, so I only use the collonil waterstop spray to waterproof it.

I'm so nervous to use the spray! I have the carbon pro and I ordered apple garde, I might try it on my pochette accessories strap because if I mess it up I can order another

Anyone have a piece with a good patina able to tell me if it protects the leather having a patina, does it naturally become water resistant? I'm debating using apple garde or carbon pro, although we're not going far at the moment anyway, thank you
