Members PcCowboy Posted June 24, 2013 Members Report Posted June 24, 2013 Good to know. Waterproofing leather has it's place. But I'm sort of old school and thinks of leather as being alive and needing to breath. I never seal the leather. I let the customer do that if they want, and then it is up to me to scrap all that crap off when it's time to clean them LOL Quote We don't just build saddles, we create them.
Members Saddlebag Posted July 27, 2013 Members Report Posted July 27, 2013 PcCowboy, I had that saddle for many years. Gave it a good annual cleaning and a light application of Dubbin. Just before I sold it I applied a recipe I have that helps remove dirt and surface oil, a glycerin soaping and the saddle looked like it came out of the show room. Apparently when the calvary had to store their saddles for some time they would clean and Dubbin them, wrap them in oil cloth and store in the metal footlocker. That is why I gave it a try. This was from when I worked in the historical library. Quote
