Help! Leather Balm Gone All Wrong And All Over!

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

One of my nephews wanted to help me work on some leather so I told him he could coat the hide with some Leather Balm w/ atom wax by applying with a cloth. He decided to squirt it all over with a spray bottle and wipe down which doesn't seem to be working to well. It looks like its not drying up. How can I remove this or get it back to its overall uniform color? Thank you

I use LBAW after I am done finishing and the piece is dry, not ever on naked leather. I'm guessing you could try a finish stripper like deglazer (small spot first, I have no idea what will happen). You might want to call Fiebing's customer service and see what they say.

Hmmm... It almost looks tie dyed the way it is. I know in the old days of waxed floors women used ammonia to strip the wax build up, before applying new wax. I have no idea what that would do to leather but if you can try a little in a corner and allow it to dry it might be a cheap and effective solution. You'll probably want to rinse with fresh water afterwards.

Before you go and throw this in the can, ship it to me. I could use some practice leather. And I'm too poor to buy any! :whatdoyouthink:

Anyone else have any tips? Or did this whole hide just go to waste? :T

Did you find any solution? Inquiring minds want to know. :)
