Storing leather

Recommended Posts

I have some extra leather I need to store for maybe a year. I was thinking I might apply neatsfoot oil, let it dry for a couple of days, and then put the pieces in a cardboard box. Would this work?

It would, if the leather needs nfo. I store my leather in large plastic boxes mostly, never applied nfo, never needed to

Don't forget @Fredk lives in the Emerald Isle, and it's green because they have plenty of water in the air. In Arizona, that might be an entirely different matter.

You're more likely to suffer mildew or wet rot!

My lighter skins I clip to a hanger in a closet.
