Members oldtimer Posted February 9, 2009 Members Report Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) I would use what we in Sweden call !"Potatoe meal" , don´t know the name of the product in english. A heavy layer of that would suck out the oil in a day or two. The product is potatoe starch. Potatoe flour and it is easy to wipe off, doesnt stick at all!

Members kfiretwo Posted February 9, 2009 Members Report Posted February 9, 2009 i use shammy towels, i make a bag out of them n put in oil dry or any other osberbent material the towels will suck the oil out of the leather the oil dry will capture n keeps it from leaching back in from the other side u can wrap ur leather in the towel if its a flat piece ur trying to clean Quote
Bob Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I'd be inclinded to use HOT water first, because you would like to displace the oil with water, then do as suggested above using cat litter or floor dry to absorb the oil and water out, then repeat as many times as required. For all the effort, it might be easier to make a new pair of bags. Quote Bob Goudreault www.kamloopssaddlery.com
