Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted May 30, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted May 30, 2009 Hi all, I just received a pair of western reins that have been in a plastic bag in the back of a car for about a year. (Wife said, "I was wondering where they went...") They aren't in terrible condition, but they do have a little mold on them. I've checked the archives here and am proceeding with a vinegar bath to remove the mold. I'm also trying something a little different. To the washing mixture, I added some antifungal shampoo that my wife uses for her horses. I'm not too worried about stripping the oils from the reins because I'm gonna refinish with Aussie anyway. Thoughts and/or concerns, other advice? Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
