Members Spinner Posted January 13, 2012 Members Report Posted January 13, 2012 Could be I use too much soap in the mix. I had an issue for a while where my edges looked and felt great just after burnishing but softened and 'Furred' up after drying due to too wet of an edge. Ah, ok. It actually sounds like too much water, at least based on how I do it. I open the tin of saddle soap, spray a light mist of water on top and use the little bit of moisture to create the suds. Then I simply scoop up just the suds from the top with my finger and rub them into the edge and then burnish. I recently heard some really good feedback about Sheridan Leather's "Wyosheen" so I ordered up some with my last leather order. Would be nice to have a pre-prepped product if it does all they say it will. Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com
Elton Joorisity Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 I also started building them because of the Weaver model...I am a saddle maker and also make saddle specific tools...this rings true of my slickers as well...I designed them with saddle makers in mind.
