Silly question, I'm sure, but I've got a really old Tex Tan saddle, and I'm trying to be really careful with it.
I'm cleaning it and oiling it for the first time in a couple of years, and it's just drinking in the oil. Is it possible to oil the saddle too much and weaken the leather?
Also, I like to use mink oil on my leather. It really seems to bring leather back to life. I've used it successfully on tack that people thought I would have to throw away.
But I've also heard that using things like mink oil on tack is a bad idea because it causes the stitching etc to rot. Is this true? How do you feel about using mink oil?
