Montana Pitch Blend

[billymac814]

I just ordered some Montana pitch blend to try out on my seats, I know Christian at Xian leather seems to love it, but I don't hear many people talking about it here. Anyone ever try it or have opinions on it? It seems like there isn't anything else like it at least in regards to the pine pitch being added. I suppose I'll find out soon enough for myself, it wasn't exactly cheap(at least once shipping was added) but for good protection it seems reasonable.

I know a guy who makes bushcraft knife sheaths and he will ONLY use Montana Pitch Blend--loves the stuff! I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard that it's good

Like Noah, I've heard it's some of the best stuff out there for weatherproofing leather. But I haven't had a chance to purchase or use any yet. Please let us know how you like it.

I hear it's really good, I find it strange that more people don't use it if it that good. The downside is paying 10.00 for shipping for a container of it since I can't order it along with my other supplies. I got the medium size one because the shipping was about the same for the small one and it wasn't very big. If I like it and it turns out to be what I use I'll order the BIG bucket of it and not have to worry about shipping for a long time.

I'll report my findings.

I really like it too. Kind of melts with your hand friction and really seals the leather well, lets it breathe and waterproofs better than Mink Oil. 2 coats is best and let them soak in between coats.

Well worth it.

I THINK that I got it from Kevin at Springfield, but if not I ordered it directly from them online.

If there is a Red Wing Shoe Store near you look for the product "Irish Setter Brand"

i was told that it is the same as Montana Pitch Blend.

I ordered it directly from thier site, I ordered it Sunday and it shipped Monday. I don't think Springfield has it, thats where I order most of my stuff from and I've never seen it on thier site. I didn't know about the Redwing thing so I didn't check there. It would have been more convienient if Springfield has it, I could have ordered it with other things and saved shipping. I didn't verify that they don't have it though, so It could be worth a call.

I have both Pecard's and MPB. I have used Pecard's for years and it is an excellent product. I bought the MPB on a whim, both the paste and the liquid and found both to be excellent. Wife says she is going to have the undertaker preserve me with whatever is left over. I use either product and usually coat twice (a light coats a couple of days apart) for now, I use the same product for each coat, haven't tried one coat Pecard's and one coat MPB. The MPB has a little smell (Pine) to it whereas the Pecard's is fairly neutral.
