Lanolin oil is very good for leather....

do you have tips for new person trying to go into leather work ? What instruments are required for basic leather work ? hammer ? nails etc... please thank you. I do watch your videos when I get notification and I am online.

Lilly, we are in the outdoors a lot. We know some ppl use permethrin to keep the ticks away. Can you integrate permethrin into your ingredients? Or do you think that would be unhealthy? We were curious.

Також в Україні йде послідовне гоніння і переслідування УПЦ (Української православної церкви), шляхом наклепів, дискредитації, та репресивними діями з боку держструктур, під повним контролем цих незаконних дій з боку поліції. Приймаються фіктивні рішення з боку територіальних громад, які ігноруючи волю релігійної спільноти голосують за передачу приміщень храмів іншим, підконтрольним, і підзвітним до державних структур релігійним деномінаціям. Після чого, не чекаючи рішень судів, та дій виконавчих структур, приходять найняті озброєні люди у військовій формі , і насильницьким способом викидають віруючих і іхнє майно з церковних приміщень. Виламують двері , б,ють священників, і прихожан церкви, при повному сприянні працівників поліції.). У Києво _Печерській Лаврі, після її захоплення цими структурами, лишились заблокованими більше сотні монахів, і кілька десятків прихожан, які закриті у неопалюваних , холодних приміщеннях, до них не пускають відвідувачів, і не дозволяють передавати продукти харчування , і теплі речі. , омбутсмен з прав людини при Верховній Раді повністю бездіє, поліція і СБУ відкриває кримінальні справи на священників, і керівників єпархій, і правозахисників, які допомагають церковним громадам відстоювати їхні права. У підконтрольних державі засобах масової інформації проводиться послідовна кампанія по дискредитаціїї , і створенню образа ворога з найбільшої в Україні релігійної організації (УПЦ), до якої належать більше 6 мільйонів українців. Використовуючи введений нею ВОЕННИЙ СТАН, влада забороняє людям збиратись і висловлювати публічно свою думку і волю, також забороняється критика дій влади, та вільне висловлення своєї думки. Всіх, хто наполягає на верховенстві права, та демократичних цінностях брехливо звинувачують у "колабораціонізмі з ворогами україни")), дуже схоже на те, що робив Сталін у 30-40-х роках у Радянському Союзі.

Thank you, Lilly! This is ironic, I was looking for mink oil for my boots this weekend. And, voilá, you create a video on how to preserve our boots! 👍

[@joejust9269]

I use beeswax and mineral oil equal parts the pharmacy has non perfumed. It can be used on cuts, lip balm, stitching on your tent and for anything waterproofing❤

[@petrklic7064]

paraffin oil or some with higher viscosity ?

[@bio-techlarry9602]

Hi Lilly, Excellent video and thanks for the education on cleaning leather and making your own Leather Balm. Very interesting. I like your double boiler made from saved tin cans. Using metric measure reminds of some lab work I used to do. Enjoyed the video. 🙂

[@williamwelch7]

Thanks Lilly, great video. I always try to keep my leather boots clean, polished, and conditioned. I use basically the same recipe, i just use tallow instead. Boots are a necessity, and so important, they deserve to be treated with respect and care!

So enjoy your 'how to' videos, Lilly! While I kept all my leather are products after regifting my saddle, I was just researching caring & waterproofing my boots!

[@NewWorldHoarder]

I found out about saddle soap back in the 90’s when I was trying to find a reliable way to clean flies, bugs and the yellow custard mess things that splatter over your motorcycle race suit whilst riding hard in the country during the summer. Can’t remember who recommended it but I bought a huge bar of the stuff at a horsey shop and it worked wonders! 😮 never looked back, and cleaned countless leather jackets, trousers, boots, and even sofas with the stuff. For a balm I use Renapur which is an English product and extremely good, although when I run out it’ll be the home made route due to rising living costs.

[@libellula3313]

[@fookingsog]

I'm surprised you didn't include Lanolin (Wool Wax) in your ingredients as it is a super protective against water and rusting of metal!!!

[@petrklic7064]

Exactly. But how many % add to this shoe mixture ?

[@fookingsog]

@petrklic7064 is probably best to keep the formula as simple as possible!!! I'd probably (personally) try Beeswax & Lanolin with a bit of turpentine to assist with the blending process. I'd most likely start with 3 parts beeswax, 1 part lanolin, and a bit of turpentine for blending. All of these items are natural. I just made another mixture for waxing canvas that consists of: 8 Oz. of beeswax, 8 Oz. of paraffin wax, 2 Oz. of boiled linseed oil and 2 Oz. of turpentine. It's kind of a semi-paste wax when squeezed or pressed. I will use a flexible blade and a hair dryer (or heat gun) to saturate canvas with. Should also be good for sealing wood as when the turpentine evaporates and the boiled linseed oil dries, it should well be locked into the fibers of the canvas or wood!!! I thoroughly believe in the K.I.S.S. principle..."Keep It Simple Stupid". Absolutely no reason to over-complicate things where the simplest straightforward answer is usually the best!!!

[@petrklic7064]

@@fookingsog Thanks. I think that right formula depends on climate. If i want use boots in colder weather or snow too. Or in humid tropical climate. My friend told me, that her boots were completely moldy after 14 days no matter what (Peru).

I use bees wax, lavender, avocado oil, and Eucalyptus oil. This mix will kill mold and mildew, water proof and protect the leather. It also is good to protect wood and metal and softens your hands and can be used as a wound cream.

[@_evilqueen]

Can you post the recipe? Thanks

[@petrklic7064]

What is benefit of avocado oil ? And how much of eucalyptus oil you add into mixture ?

[@johndavidlynn8653]

@@petrklic7064 avocado oil aids in adding essential vitamins like E to the leather and in conditioning the leather. I use 4 to 5 drops of eucalyptus oil it is what kills mold and prevents it from growing.

Try using E45 cream. It's as good as your leather balm or even better.

[@8762usma]

Great, useful video as always. I find that if I substitute rendered Kangaroo fat instead of Neats foot oil, it works much better. I'm told these critters are pretty common in Austria.

[@8762usma]

I can't get the Telegram app to work.

[@petrklic7064]

What is benefit of kangaroo oil ?

[@8762usma]

When you use Kangaroo oil, the boots get an extra "springiness" or "bounce" when you walk in them. This relieves fatigue when you go on long hikes, especially if you are traveling uphill in the mountains.@@petrklic7064

[@SirenaSpades]

I believe you mean Australia

Nope. I mean Austia. I hear they thrive up in the Alps. They have evolved there to have wide feet, so they can easily traverse glaciers and such.@@SirenaSpades

How tried and tested is this in the end ? Does it perhaps originate from some sadle or shue artisans ? I simply buy something called minkoil it has worked great for my leathers for decades. I got no idea if its made from minkfat or how it is made thou, witch perhaps I should find out.
