Heal Old Leather

Recommended Posts

I have a vintage leather strap (70's?) that has become dry and if I bend it too much it starts to crack.

Is there a way to get it back to pliable?

I tried neatsfoot, and even wrapped a neatsfoot soaked rag around it over night - no help.

Then I thought of you guys!

Any ideas?

(Thanks in advance!)

You might also try Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenator

Stretch your hands out over the leather, on second thought, stretch out your left hand and grab a jar of Pecard's, Montana Pitchblend, or Dr. Jackson's, and rub on a coat, if it drys-up in an hour or two, put on another coat, then let it sink in overnight in a dry place. Usually this will bring most things back from the dead.
