Anyone ever use leather firmer, or stiffening spray?

If anyone has used this, or something like it for belts, jackets or anything else, id love to hear about the results! Thanks!

usually bag or wallet maker use that to soften the spine of the flap and stiffen the front and back faces, perhaps if we have creased our sleeve to see a clear crease pattern then we can use both of these maybe with more precise control like small brush to enhance the appearance of the crease pattern perhaps, would be faking in some sense but perhaps it will look good, as long as the surface of the leather is still absorbing treatment of course, would be useless to apply it on most motorcycle finished leather.

in case of firming perhaps it can help with floppy band collar or collar that is too soft to stay popped up perhaps applying it under the back of the collar will make the back side to stay popped up better but I imagine this fluid will fill in the gaps between leather fibers and then dry perhaps into "leather fiber reinforced polymer" kind of state like Carbon fiber reinforced polymer ... then when it is forced to bend then it will shatter or at least will crack?

Great idea to use it for shaping on the underside of a floppy collar.

I used a spilled pint of Guiness from a bar mate of mine to permanently stiffen the sleeve of a cheap A2. Didn’t realize that my arm was resting in a puddle of beer for nearly a half hour. The girl on the other side of the spill was really cute.
