Janelle12 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leatherimages Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
