Technical details and instructions

Instructions of use

  • Clean the surface to be treated.
  • Take a small amount of grease on either a little rag, brush or your fingers. It will get messy anyway, so the finger is probably the best alternative. Or two fingers.
  • Apply the grease in a circular motion.
  • Let soak in until the wet grease disappears from the surface. Repeat a few times if necessary. It's best to apply several thin layers than just a few thick ones.
  • Sometime after the treatment, wipe the leather with a cotton rag. If you don't, there will remain a wax-like coat. It's not necessarily a bad thing depending on the use, and it can be scrubbed off later too, but it will not be as easy as moments after the treatment.

Please note that the colour of the leather to be treated will likely change a bit darker. You could try it out in an unnoticeable spot at first.

Special info for professionals

Mix with tar (50/50) to get a traditional, special Finnish ointment for waterproofing leather footwear meant for rough use. Not for kiddie boots with membranes!

Description

A large half a liter bucket of leather grease, just as good as any fine brand, but without a fancy name and thus cheaper.

Attention: The extra photos show a pair of traditional Finnish Laplander boots being treated with a 50/50 mix of tar and grease, thus the dark colour. The grease itself is the yellow lump. Not recommended for anything with a membrane (e.g. Gore-Tex).

This clear grease is just the stuff for any colour of leatherwares, from black leather jackets to natural brown belts. Probably includes some beeswax too, giving the grease a nice scent and water repellency.
