Hey guys,

Was wondering if neatsfoot is OK for the thin leather helikon wood crafter gloves. I use is on my axe masks and sheaths.

I know it will darken them, but after one outing with them at the weekend. They have lost alot of colour anyways.

Cheers for the advice

John

BIG Thanks to Danceswithhelicopters,
Lathered the hestra on the gloves. And reshaped them.

Darkened the leather which is great! And not sticky at all.

Quarter of that pot buddy, now I've seen the magic, I'll be buying some. Amazing stuff. Put the gloves in a warm room and now fully dried.

In between I did read somewhere else that neatsfoot oil can destroy gloves.

I thing gloves become larger and the seams don't hold anymore because the leather pulls out.

Surely worth a try with cheap working gloves...
