And now for the rest of the story?
Hello. Hope I didn't miss something but it seems to me that the question was only partially answered. It is helpful to know about the environmental/chemical issues. But I am also interested in whether using one vs the other impacts on the end result differently. For example, on boots. Will using one vs another result in a different look or feel to the boot? How about comparing something like mink oil paste to "leather lotion" or "conditioning oil in a tin. Do the boots end up looking or feeling differently if one vs another is used. So, my question isn't about which is better or worse chemically (as important as that may be) or if one is easier to use or less likely to spill. I'm not even interested if one is more waterproof than another. My question is about whether I'm more likely to be successful reaching my goal of having a nice looking pair of boots that is not tacky or sticky or too dry or too flakey if I use one type over another. Any ideas about that? Is one easier to get a shine with than another? Do you need to polish first or after with one and not the other in order to end up with a shiny (not mirror shine) pair of boots?
