Hi Matt. As an engineer I love this answer! You could say no amount of surface proofing can stop water actually wicking 'through' the leather itself. Would I be able to apply a lighter less viscous product that will soak into the leather? ie some kind of oil / similar? Thank you so much for your reply. Hi Sheilajeanne, Do you know of any products that would soak into the leather? Ie not something that can be scuffed off the surface.

Hello, I apologise that this is not your usual area of interest but I really want the help of some experts in leather. I would like to know why the leather in this photo has wetted out on the right hand and is dry on the left. I put reproofer all over the leather but obviously there is more going on than meets the eye. I would like to understand why? I guess I need to learn how to get some proofing product ' into ' the leather and not just on the surface. Many many thanks for reading.
