Jason-
That is what I call re-inventing the wheel and yes I have done it many times and then went OH! somebody already knew how to do this! A few hours research (and the Internet has made that immensely easier) can save many, many hours and dollars.

Don't know anything about the Ekol and when I did a google.com search the only thing that came up was the Australian Knifemakers Supplies site. Does it give ingredients? It sounds like it may be similar to Neat-Lac, a leather lacquer finish sold by Tandy's amongst others. I know Neat-Lac is always a bear to take off when re-finishing a piece.

I've also used thinned down wood finishes on hardened leather and they seam to work great.
