Hey folks, 

Let me cut to the chase: what strategies do you use to extract or squeeze out ALL the excess Neatsfoot oil from a piece of leather? (a belt in this case) Just thought I'd turn to this group to see if anyone has any brilliant ideas or strategies I haven't considered.

Thanks!

I've never been really able to extract NFO after a real bad case of over oiling

However, on modest over oiling I use

1. another piece of veg tan which needs oiling to leech out the oil. Laid in contact and left for months (cos I usually forget it)

2. a piece of brown wrapping paper to leech it out. I find brown wrapping paper work best of all papers

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Soak it in denatured alcohol or acetone then wring it out & let dry. Best advice i can give.
