holliesterr Report post Posted January 25, 2018 I'm new to leather working, so I need some help. I bought a Kodiak leather side from Tandy Leather Factory and I'm unsure what to use to clean it. I'm making notebook covers and the leather feels like it needs a wipe down at least. Is Fiebings 4 way care okay for this leather? Any recommendations?

bikermutt07 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 If I remember right, Kodiak was an oil tanned leather. You may want to call Tandy and confirm that though. I haven't really messed with oil tanned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really messed with oil tanned. Pretty sure its oil tanned. I haven't really messed with oil tanned either, so I'm feeling stumped. I have some Bickmore Bick 4 Leather cleaner and conditioner and tested a piece with it. The leather felt weird after using it, so I won't be using that! I could call Tandy up tomorrow.
