Reconditioning Crocodile Hide.

[MuddyClearWaters]

I have a crocodile belly that is of unknown age. I got it at a garage sale. It was stored indoors but its pretty dry. I made a project with it and the sections between the plates where tearing really easily. Is there any way I can recondition the back side of the hide. Put more moisture back into it? What is the best way to do this? Mink oil? Something else?

I would try some Obenauf's leather oil on it. Go easy and give it a day or two or three to migrate through the leather. The oil and the heavy duty LP are both great stuff but they will darken the leather some.
