Burnishing W/ Saddle Soap: Bar Or Paste?

[superpacker]

Wow, that "liquid" saddle soap really is liquid! It looks like a spray bottle of toilet cleaner. I thought it would be like a runny goo.

I know a lot of drug and convenience stores carry tins of saddle soap, usually kiwi in he shoe care isle. Does anyone know of a convenient place to look for the liquid version?

I use febings liquid. Yeah, you can spray it on if you want. I got mine at Tractor Supply. IIRC Springfield has it by the gallon. Either them or Weaver's. I got tired of smelling Gumtrag and having to rub in pastes and my edges keeping that yellow tint. You get none of that with the liquid.

If you are looking for a burnisher for a drill or dremel I can't recommend Pro Edge Burnishers enough. I picked up their slot master and it is awesome! Went back and ordered a rub stick too for molding my holsters. Great products. He has a website and is on ebay.

I use Fiebings glycerine bar saddle soap. I grate it into a Quart jar with water (hot) then give that a good shake. (or if you really want to get fancy cook it in a pot the stove until the grated soap is completely dissolved and pour that into your jar) 1" square of the soap will make a small mayo jar of soap "slime" that works as well as the liquid stuff.... why pay for water? I did a cost analysis once... Bar of soap is about $6. I figure one can get about 10, QT jars from it. Saved something like $95.
