Hello guys! Could you please advise me on the following: I am trying to make a belt using veg tanned leather, and before dyeing it, I used some Neatsfoot oil. I applied only 2 thin coats because I read that too much oil may spoil the fibers of the leather. Still, even after these 2 coats of oil, the belt seems to be stiff and brittle. Could anybody help me to understand how much Neatsfoot oil should be applied so the belt would become supple and soft? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello everyone! Could anybody help me and share an opinion on how to use neatsfoot oil? I am trying to make a purse (size 180 mm x 207 mm) using veg tanned leather. The problem is: I’m afraid to overuse the oil (so the leather will appear to be greasy) or to underuse it (resulting in dry and cracked leather in future). Any advice will be highly appreciated!)
