        Your choice of "squeeze and bend" music was calming…

        my thoughts exactly 😃

            Ahahah what the hell is that music. I know it's premature but I gotta say I think LP is the winner…

                    This thread is the sort of thing that really sets Giles apart from other retailers.  Such a cool idea.  Thanks, G!

                      ^Amen to that! And I agree with Seul, LP for the win.

                          I think LP looks the best too, but olive oil is a close 2nd…

                                +1 for LP. I think the olive oil looks good, but I'm not sold. Great results though. What a cool idea.

                                  I kinda dig the mustang paste. Nobody feeling it?

                                    I like the color of the mustang but I feel like the oils would be pretty amazing on leather that is actually being used.

                                    Also, were the pastes/waxes applied then hit with a heat gun? I know this was a fun experiment but I'm just wondering.

                                      The Mustang Paste is a close second IMHO.

                                        No, just rubbed in with a cloth

                                          The lp seems to have less cracking and marks from the bend test. Do you think any are better?

                                            IMO the LP is best.  Remind me to show them to you when you are next down.
