Lightly Oiling? Thinking Outside The Box...

Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

What about this: what if I used a mister (like a squeeze bottle type thing) and sprayed a very, very fine mist above, and allowed that mist to settle on and lightly coat the leather? Do you think that would work? Has anyone tried that before?

Also, in general, would soaking/wetting leather before applying any oil (neetsfoot) help spread the oil more consistently, more evenly than just applying the oil to the dry skin?

Thanks, again everyone.

Look up some posts by Lobo, . . . then refine your search to oiling, . . .

He's the man to answer that for you, . . .

May God bless,

I never had a need to mist it, I think its too thick to do that really. I use a piece of sheepskin and apply it lightly, never had any issues with it being uneven. I have put it on while the piece is damp and its fine, but I wouldn't wet it just to do that.

The first thought I have about misting it is that the "mist" is a bunch of drops, which will likely settle on the leather like like a bunch of drops - spotty. I just put mine on with a blue Scott shop towel. Little bit on the towel and light pressure. I never have any problems with uneven application.
