The leather n rich was waiting for me when I got home tonight, so I slathered on a nice thick coat and massaged it in for a few minutes. How long should I leave the leather n rich on? Should I wipe it down before reapplying, or just put more on and wipe it down good just once in the end? Should I let it “dry” or “cure” for any length of time before I apply the tan kote?
I do believe you're best not to use the Tan Kote over the 'slathering'. It's a stand-alone finish that would have gone over the dyed surface instead of the Black Rock. Hopefully (I've no experience with the Black Rock) what you've done will finish the job completely :-).
