Members Janelle12 Posted July 8, 2011 Members Report Posted July 8, 2011 I come here for all my strange/silly leather questions cuz y'all are so smart. I have a friend who says that using baby powder/talcum powder to stop saddle stirrup squeak will hurt/dry out the leather. Is this the case really? If you clean and oil your saddle regularly anyways? Thanks. Quote
dirtclod Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 I have never seen and damage from baby powder and i have worked on a lot saddles that have had used on them. Some of them for years. Quote
Members Leatherimages Posted July 8, 2011 Members Report Posted July 8, 2011 I can't speak for saddle leather, but I've used it on boot leathers for many years. Just a caution; don't choose baby powder with starch around wet leather. Remember the paste from our kindergarten days? Quote
