Water casing vs oil

Recommended Posts

How do the 2 casing techniques stack up to each other? When would oil casing be preferable to water?

I guess I never heard of such technique as casing with oil. 

I thought all casing was done with water.

Never heard of that, either, and don’t think it would work. If you truly soak the leather with oil, you will create an irredeemable, soggy mess.

Yep, never heard of it and don't see how it could work. Casing requires damping the leather and then letting it partially dry, oil doesn't dry out.

Feel free to try it, however and post your results to let us know what happens.
