    I have learned from this site to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil...I dampen a spong...put a coat onto the leather..let it dry for about an hour and put on two or three more coats with drying between coats. Then when satisfied I give it three coats of leather balm...so for I have been pleased. If you want to make it darker let it sit in the hot sun between coats of olive oil...
