Finishing or Waterproofing Latigo

[eatbeef88]

I am just finishing a belt I made from latigo leather and am wondering if anyone has any experience or advice for finishing/waterproofing it so it doesn't bleed?  Will just using meats foot oil be sufficient? I can't seem to find any resources online.  Thanks in advance!

Try searching under " nests foot oil".

I think what he means is neatsfoot oil. Which it shouldn't really need as latigo is already pretty oily/waxy already due to the way it's made. Might be better of with a finish like Resolene or 50/50 Mop 'N Glo and water.

first, neats foot oil isn't a finish

second, latigo is already about as water resistant as leather gets

third, your question has been answered a few times so a search would have found your answer

I definitely meant "neatsfoot" but the autocorrect got the best of me. Thanks for the advice!
