How To Undo A Mistake With Neatsfoot Oil?

[Stewart]

Well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried all of the solutions ecept waiting for oil to dry by-self

and still have the problem. I did take a knife and scraped the area off.

That problie made everying worse. Did try Veg cooking oil on a off

side spot that would be covered by a frame. It looked like it might work.

Also going to try baby oil or mineral oil. If that fails i have the idea to

take the face i traced from-cut it out and glue to the area. If that looks

werid than i will do the whole thing over. I do have to start a new

Dream catcher for another Grandkid. and two belts for sons.

Again thanks for your alls help

I think i fixed it. It worked on a small area and you would never guess what i used.

If it doesn"t Than another head dent in the wall.Never ever give up. Thats what keeps the

insitutions in busines.

so i rubbed alot of neat oil into some leather suspenders i made.. well i basically drowned it because i wanted it to stop squeaking. what should i do are my suspenders ruined now?

they smell now because of so much oil. I have activated charcoal and baking soda..

should i use those to get the excess oil out ?

or should i soak it in cold water and wash the oil off ? maybe use some castile soap ?

Speedy Dry from the auto store put some in a bucket put whatever has to much oil on it in the bucket then cover with speedy dry over night and bam  that should do it. .

If it were me I would place the suspenders on our clothes dryer's sweater drying rack and set the temperature on low, encouraging the oil to further penetrate the leather, then run the dryer in 15 minute intervals and check on the progress regularly. You don't want to dry out the leather, only encourage the oil to fully penetrate it.
