    I  think the LP looks the best. But let's see them cleaned up and bent

        Just read this entire thread - start to… almost finish - who would have thought how interesting it would be?!  Can't wait to see the results!!

        Too bad I use Leather Honey and/or Bick 4 to condition - still, surprisingly interesting thread

          The suspense is killing me! I just read this whole thread, and being an LP user but liking the looks of the Mustang Paste sample slightly more, I'm curious to see which piece of leather is the "healthiest".

            Great thread. Just read front to back. I use LP on boots, but leave belts natural. Can't wait to see how they bend. Crazy experiment.

              Same I just read the whole thing,
              really want to see how they look after the drying!
              My fav at the moment is probably mustang paste,

                This thread inspired me to use olive oil on my leather patch!

                    And it will continue to I am afraid.  Super bogged down with other more critical stuff atm…

                      ^MORE critical than this?  What could that possibly be?!?  Oh right… everything.  We shall wait.

                        A quick word on the mustang paste. I had just applied it to my IH-CCH and had set it on the kitchen window sill to dry. My wife was washing dishes and accidentally got it wet. I guess I realized it only a short while later and I was surprised to see the water beading up like it would on a freshly waxed car. After drying it, I didn't see any water marks at all. I've also applied to it an older Goro's coin wallet and it has really refreshed the leather. With a little beeswax, the thing looks almost new.

                          Sly bump too, well done ;).

                          Obenauf's does similar beading FYI. I really enjoyed walked through snow/rain/puddles with recently Obenauf treated boots. Boots kept utterly dry.

                          Most importantly, great to know the IH-CCH lives to see more spending 🙂 ❤

                            I have remembered to order some Saddle Soap.  Once it arrives, I can clean up the samples and finish this thing off.  Sorry for the delay….

                                Soap has arrived, I've done nothing.  Will try and fix that next week.  Mea Culpa…..

                                  Samples still outside, or did you bring them in after that last update?  Just curious…

                                          OK.  They are on the bench…

                                          Did a pretty good job of protecting the wood….

                                          And a nice patina on the nails….
