MerlB Report post Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks all. I will keep on trying. I will also see, if diluting Fiebings dye with pure water helps with the hard leather. Lexol nf doesnt seem to be available in Germany... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMAN622 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 When oiling holsters, are both the outside and inside of the treated? Also, one of my favorite holster sites, Brigadier, oils after dyeing, but does not state inside and outside. Finally, a harness maker, recommends olive oil as his preferred treatment. Any thoughts? I thank you in advance. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy I Report post Posted August 3, 2014 I oil inside and out with NF Oil, using my fingers after the has been applied. I think olive oil will work fine, I have even read of people using Cod Liver Oil with great success. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerlB Report post Posted August 3, 2014 this is what my testsubject looks like finished. A little bit darker than planned but it turned out when applying carnaubacream it brightened up a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted August 3, 2014 RMAN, olive oil will work just fine. I haev Olive Oil and neatsfoot oil. I use either one depending on the mood I am in. They both seem to work just fine. MerlB that looks like it turned out nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
