A PYC post of my TLC for my EDC. HAHAHA.!

Made me some leather balm over the weekends. Mostly for rejuvenating, but the waterproofing quality is pretty decent too.

Made it into a nice creamy texture. not too watery cause it gets difficult to apply. And like meringue, it doesn't drop if you overturn it.

This is after one application on a piece of Vegetable Tanned. It significantly darkens the leather but the picture kind of exaggerates the darkness. Cause i kinda got too excited and didn't let the oiled piece dry first. HAHA.!

Props to Mike for spurring me on into doing this little project.!

^ Good stuff ItsJustNC!

I'm guessing the wax content in your formulation is quite high?

That's some solid darkening and water repelling there.

Really..? I kinda felt that it was a tad too diluted. xD Was a simple 1:2 ratio.

Little present from Chris at Angelos Leather Crafts - it's a brass hook key ring.

Hand made brass hook with cattehide and metal/glass/bone beads:

I got my watchstraps back from kamida-san after he made some modifications to them, also included in the package was a little note from miz and this good luck charm, inside the little wallet is Okinawan sea salt for good luck...

I'm gonna hang it from my rear view mirror I think.

how do you keep leather from gettog molds? i kee min on a cupboard but they get molds every so often

I bet the darkness is helping the mold grow. Try keeping them in an open space that is cool and dry.

[LC_Miey]

I store my leathers in a drawer and put one or two of these and change regularly when the water is full. works well so far...

LC_ is right. You must have a very humid place.

[mikecch]

Never had mould, but I live in Australia
