Glove/Tab maintenance/preservation
« on: March 13, 2009, 03:07:00 AM »
Hi guys,
I've had quite a lot of success over years using Neatsfoot Compound (Here is a ling to a wiki write up on the real-deal, neatsfoot oil,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neatsfoot_oil  ) to maintain leather goods, and so far it seems to hold true with regards to my shooting glove.

I'm hoping to have you long-time shooters chime in who've kept the same glove in action for several years with no cracks or need to replace equipment. What's your secret?

Cleaning with a good saddle soap is all I do anymore... and not too often for that.

I don't do much for my tabs, natural skin oils tends to take care of them.  My gloves need a little Snowproof...maybe once a year and lightly then.

I use Neatsfoot oil also. Works very well and waterproofs also.
