Nicole82 Report post Posted September 30 I used Effax balm and now my bag is sticky and stiff. It was soft and flexible. Can this be fixed? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted September 30 Have you tried cleaning it with saddle soap to get off the excess? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole82 Report post Posted September 30 No, is there a particular way to do that and type of saddle soap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUP Report post Posted September 30 Just ordinary saddle soap. You should get it in any leather store or on Amazon. I have no idea which country you are from, so cannot suggest a store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomE Report post Posted September 30 I haven't had that outcome with Effax Leder Balsam, but it does happen with Blackrock Leather N' Rich conditioner. I buff repeatedly with a soft cloth, and finish with a soft brush for polishing shoes. Applying some heat with a hair dryer might improve penetration into the leather so there's less buildup on the surface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
