Can someone explain what is “Dubbin” how is it used etc and neatsfoot oil would that interfere with dying the leather?

What is the best way to remove the marks, wet leather first then use spoon or the glass burnisher? And for the record, I am still learning, this is the second holster I have ever made.

Hey guys, i am having a problem with marks on leather projects when they are either being worked on or when finished. Other than the obvious ‘try to be more careful” is there something I can do to get rid of the marks ? Here is a holster I am working on that show what I am talking about.

I’m also looking for one, anyone have one they would share or sell?

The skirt is about 5 1/2” long

I see this thread is a few years old, I started working with leather about a year ago. on one of my orders to Tandy they had this saddle kit on sale so I bought it and when I opened the kit and viewed the instructions I realized that my skills were not good enough to complete it so I put it away for another time. I watched a few videos, read some books, practiced a lot on mostly nothing, made a lot of scraps and finally one day I realized I had developed enough skills to maybe be able to complete the saddle kit, so I got it out and finally, with much difficulty and determination I completed the saddle kit. Here is a picture of the finished saddle.
