Mold on cased leather

[electrathon]

I have also heard of putting a few drops of listerine in the water you used to case the leather. I have never tried that. I do use a couple of drops of dish washing soap in it.

When I have ran out of ProCarve Water/listerine/dishsoap is my standby. It smells good when you spray it.

Thanks guys, your replies give me a couple of more options. I will try the Pro Carve and the listerine to see if I can hold off the mold in the future. In the mean time I have rubbed down my cased leather with Isopropyl alcohol and it seems to have stopped the mold growth. As an answer to the same plastic bag question-Yes I am using the same plastic bag and unfortunately don't have another to substitute. I am traveling right now and it is not convenient for me to get some new ones. But, in the future I will remember that possible cause for the continued mold growth.

Just read a post on casing leather and some one there mentioned the use of water, lexol and baby shampoo. This is exactly what my friend Pete Gorrell recommends and I have used it in the past without getting any mold. Just couldn't use it this time around. I have to be real careful because I don't often have the time to tool on consequtive days and get the work done quickly.

Thanks again,
