Members fishguy Posted July 21, 2011 Members Report Posted July 21, 2011 When I have applied neatsfoot oil after dying I have noticed some white crud on the surface. Ususally it can be buffed away, but now I have a belt where it just keeps coming back. What is the solution? More oil? wipe down with water? Is this something coming out of the leather or the dry surface of the leather itself? Quote

Without knowing more about the leather it's hard to say, but it could be "spue", which is like a tallow or something in the tanning process. Try a hair dryer.
