Do you use Leather Oil???

[oneshot]

I'm curious if anyone uses or has tried Montana, Pitch-Blend, Leather Oil and Conditioner on their leather falconry equipment???

If you have, what are your thoughts about this product???

Here's the link to the product if you are curious: www.montanapitchblend.com/our-products.html

Ive never used that i always use Snowseal its for boots but its a lot cheaper than Jess grease.

I'd stick with Neatsfoot Oil.

That's exactly what I use as well. I heat the jess up in the micro for 10 seconds, take it out and slather that stuff on. Repeat and your done!

I tried Pitchblend once. Never seemed to soak in and was always sticky.

I am a huge fan of Obenauf's dressing. NO OIL !! Beewax and propolis.

I believe that neatsfoot, mink, tallow or any other oil will eventually rot leather.

Here's a test for anything you are going to treat a glove with. Dip your finger in it and take a big taste. If it is safe for you, your bird should be okay eating off of it.

Nurture Seal and or Bag balm ... Bag balm is cheaper and easier to find - as OldGuy pointed out , safe to eat from ....

I actually do use this--the leather dressing, which is heavier wax-based, more than the oil. It is a bit tougher to get to soak in, but the microwave trick usually does it. You have to work the leather more but once its in, I find I don't have to re-treat it as often.
I'm also a MT girl, so I'm a little biased :-p

MICROWAVE ??!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!

I rub a dose of Obenauf's dressiing on my glove or new jesses and hit 'em with my wife's hair dryer. Watch it disappear right into the leather.
Not too hot !
