  1. I'm new to this group, but have played with leather for years, so I'll offer my two cents. The suggestion that you put the items in the sun is great - and I'd add that if you put something absorbent under them (like paper towels) in full contact with the porous back side of the leather, that plus the heat will take out some of the excess oil that has dissolved the sealer. I'd also suggest that you experiment with using castor oil in future. It softens leather and gives it a rich translucent look rather than the flat dead brown that you get with most other oils. An old horseman from Virginia taught me that trick 50 years ago and I still use it.
