The 100% natural preservative for leather articles subjected to rugged use and outdoor exposure. Since the primary function of a neatsfoot oil is to replace the evaporated oils in leather, replacing the oils with other natural animal oils is best. Used by saddle makers for decades. Packaged in 8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz and 1 gal.
- Ensure that the leather you're treating is clean and free from any dirt or dust
- If necessary, clean the leather with Fiebing's saddle soap and allow it to dry completely before applying the neatsfoot oil
- Before applying neatsfoot oil to the entire leather item, it's wise to test it on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility and to see how the leather reacts to it
- This step helps prevent any unexpected results on the entire surface
- Apply a small amount of neatsfoot oil onto a clean, soft cloth or sponge
- Rub the oil onto the leather surface using gentle, circular motions, ensuring even coverage
- Pay special attention to any areas of the leather that are particularly dry or stiff
- After applying the neatsfoot oil, allow it to penetrate the leather for some time
- The time needed for absorption may vary depending on factors such as the thickness of the leather and its current condition
- Typically, you should let it sit for several hours to overnight
- Depending on the condition of the leather and how thirsty it is, you may need to reapply neatsfoot oil periodically to maintain its softness, flexibility and protection
- It's best to apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat
- After treating the leather with neatsfoot oil, you may choose to follow up with Fiebing's mink oil paste to further enhance its appearance and provide additional protection
