La Maitresse

Meh, wow... I just found a completely different section that I somehow missed, I'm a noob on here. Any pointers are appreciated though!

Hey everyone, I was wanting to get some pointers as to what I should do before putting a finish on my leather (I have tankote, but am open to other ways). I haven't been able to find a specific answer to the whole finishing process (I know there are many). Right now I have the leather dyed, dried, and wiped off all excess that I possibly could. But I'm wanting to know if it would be a good idea to apply some type of oil to the leather for flexibility before putting the finish on. I would also love to know anyone's method of finishing their leather. Thanks!
