billybopp Report post Posted January 29, 2021 Well, ya know. You've got this little tiny piece that needs to be burnished. You forgot to bring a cup of water with you. The kitchen is way over on the other side of the house. Well, things happen. - Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardrada Report post Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Licked it? No. Spit into my anatomical snuff box and then dip my finger in the saliva therein and apply it onto an edge? Yes. Not my standard practice, though. For the important things in life, there's saliva; for anything else there's Tokonole.

Handstitched Report post Posted January 29, 2021 Is there a recipe for leather? A BBQ rub or a marinade perhaps? Might make it taste a bit better, and washed down with a beer or a nice cab sav or a pinot ? But no, I haven't done that and never will. I'd be concerned about the chemicals thats in leather. I'll stick with a drop of water from my spray bottle . HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
