      I don't know, the untreated one seems to be cracking a bit around the holes.  I'd agree that it shows good leather needs minimal care, though. 😉

                              just curious, is the mustang paste any better than the LP since there is quite a big difference in their pricing..

                              p.s/ don't shoot me for asking.. i know there's pictures from this experiment which G painstakingly did over a period of time but im just curious…  😶

                                    seriously can't wait! guess I'll hold my fingers and wait for the outcome before getting the mustang paste. 🙂

                                      I'm really curious about this as well. I'm just about out of Buffalo Butter and wanted to try something new.

                                        Looking forward to the Christmas update for this thread :). This evidence-based approach is one of the many reasons why I love this place and Giles :blushes:

                                          If I get a chance I'll photo and apply gunk again tomorrow and then bring the thing to and end in a month or so….
