esantoro Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 Here's a quick comparison test I did with Sno-Seal Aussie Wax Montana Pitch Blend Leather used is Indian Tan Latigo I'm beginning to think the difference among various conditioners with weatherproofing properties is a situation where the emperor has no clothes.

Guess capillary action will draw the water in but then again maybe the fiber will not get as wet and dry faster? Just looking for the silver lining singteck Quote

Just looking for the silver lining singteck I'm just not sure there's such a big difference between a beeswax weatherproofer costing $5 and one costing $20. They all seem to work the same. For the Montana Pitch Blend, rather expensive, I used a sample sent me by the company. Ed Quote

Worked well. Diffrence between a $5 and $20 weatherproffer? Marketing hype? Thanks for taking the time to do a comparrison test. Quote
esantoro Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Posted July 3, 2008 For this quick test, I rubbed in a bit of each of the beeswax weatherproofers/conditioners, added a droplet of water to each, and a few minutes later I wiped off the water. For the next test I will be more detailed: 1. Rub in more of each weatherproofer, and do at least three applications. 2. take pictures of the droplets of water after longer durations: immediate, five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes. 3. Use veg tan ed Quote
