Lots of topic areas (forums).  Pick the ones that seem to fit and fire away!  Descriptions of each on the home page.

There's also the forum, How do I do that?  Some of the posts get moved into other forums they fit into.

I make leather cozies for my fruit fly traps - just plastic containers with diluted vinegar, which frequently  get wet. To keep waterproof, I apply several layers of diluted resolene,  then wax and then petroleum jelly, buffing each thoroughly. It  works well and no excessive shine either.

I think I might be tempted to use a product like a Sno-Seal, used to waterproof hiking boots and other leather outdoor equipment; especially if it'll be worn for extended periods through rain and weather.  Adding any product can change coloration (usually darkening), and could potentially cause leather to bend or flex, so it's always advisable to test it first in an inconspicuous place.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.
