HELP KEEP THIS FORUM ALIVE! PLEASE DONATE.Do you mind gentlemen? You are corrupting my innocent mind with all this talk of vasaline, baby oil and grease! Are any of these items good for leathers? At least if I fall off I will slide harmlessly to the side of the road and with all that lubrication, escape without damage to myself or my leathers!!!
The roads are my race track!!
i’d still go for the used engine oil, then you’d get slippy and dirty [

Did you use the stuff that Katana mentioned? More to the point, does it leave a slippery film?
Question 3: Hows the tatoo?Best Regards

HELP KEEP THIS FORUM ALIVE! PLEASE DONATE.I used the leather balsam on the back of the knees and elbows. Also a bit on the inside of calves. Not sure if it rots stitching so being a bit careful. Hydrophane is actually oil (we call it neatsfoot oil in the horse industry) and stops leather from cracking. It does soften leather but rots the stitching so care should be taken if used often. For this reason, I would advise people to only use it once or twice on new leathers.
Oh and yes, the tatoo is fine. A bit dry and itchy is all.The roads are my race track!!
I didn’t know that Hydrophane was neatsfoot, live and learn.

HELP KEEP THIS FORUM ALIVE! PLEASE DONATE.I know someone who has just had the sign of a ladies toilet tattooed on his arm. Apparently it’s some sort of skateboard branding. Now I know why the ladies all follow him about.
If its the same hydrophane we used to use (Blue tin with lots of little horses heads on it – used to be anyway), its just a brand name for Neatsfoot Oil. Good stuff for leather, not for stitching.
