I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have had a hard stick of jeweler's rouge that I have been aggressively applying to the backside of rough leather for over a year now because, like you mentioned, there is very little information available on how to use these hard sticks.
Thanks for the idea. I've heard of people using WD-40, the duct tape of sprays, to soften it up. Spray some on it, stick it in a bag, and use it later. I've yet to try it but I might try your solution and WD-40 and see which one works best. I have a pound of green jewelers rouge I don't want to throw away.
Thank you, this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! I just got this rouge myself and wasn't sure if it was supposed to be this way
Glad I could help!

Now I know what to do, thank you for the video

It works great. I'm down past half on mine and will need to get more. Tandy actually changed the shape of it. Thank you for commenting.
You are the man thanks for the help my friend
You're welcome, I'm glad that helped.
Helpful. How did it work for you? Mine worked well after watching your video
Great! The new one is shaped a little different but since I've been doing it this way I haven't had any issues.
Well did it work?
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, it worked well. Takes some getting used to though.
Is this process still working for you, or have you moved onto something else?
Thank you for watching and commenting. I still use this rouge and Nathans Honing Oil by Lansky. It lasts a long time.
@@bigchiefleatherworks7245 awesome! Thank you so much for your response and videos
