yep and will be really interesting to see how the elements will change the leather over the time…

[Finn666]

so could this be the best idea from monday ever? :P…

[Giles]

Yeah, I think he's shot his lot now…....

^^^^

true story, i am without lot 

i always say G$ usually remembers, just give him a little time to work out the details

hope a wild animal doesn't think any of the treatments are beaver lure, HahahEha

[Giles]

Good point MM, although Gosport is not famous for its Beavers (beavers yes), we do have a significant population of Foxes…...

[madmonday]

speaking of Foxes, what have you done with the lovely Madame 

[jimmy]

This is great!!

Giles, should have added a 5th with just olive oil haha

[Giles]

Consider it done…..

[Giles]

OK, so this is 5 minutes after the olive oil application…...

[Seul]

Brilliant stuff here!.. Really comes in handy!.. Thanks, G!..

[bagley920]

I think my belt will be heart healthy very soon!

[Giles]

On the basis that we can't have too much comparative data, here they are after 6 days outside:

I'll apply the potions again tomorrow….

I wonder what kind of oil is in Obenauf's… I don't think it's neatsfoot, though neatsfoot oil does tend to darken leather quite a bit
