Leather contains moisturising and lubricating oils that are gradually lost. Instead of flexing and stretching, the fibres become tight and stiff, and will eventually weaken and break, causing cracks. Our specially formulated oils and balsam will revitalise the fibres in the leather so that they can move freely again. If tack is not going to be used for some time, it should also be carefully stored to preserve its condition.
Finished leather is composed of approximately 10% fats and oils and around 14% water, which both provide lubrication for the collagen fibres, the balance being protein. Regular care and cleaning maintains this balance and its resilient properties.
Product description
A heavy duty alternative to Neatsfoot oil for excessively dry, cracked and brittle leather items. This specially formulated viscous oil compound softens and supples leather, has added waterproofing properties and is suitable for saddlery, harness and walking boots.
Instructions for use
Use as required on dry and brittle leather only. Ensure leather is clean, then apply a thin layer to the flesh side of leather and allow to soak in for at least 24 hours. If required, also apply a thin layer to the grain side. Re-apply if leather still appears dry, taking care not to over-oil.
