I purchased a blue suede Geckota strap and turned it into an aged grey strap by soaking it in 70% water and 30% bleach overnight, came out a treat with no loss of quality.
I have a leather sling coming soon that will be new. I can't wait to try out your techniques to see if I can make it a more appropriate compliment to an aged Carcano.
I use the rubbed-in wax technique occasionally but have noticed that the "aged" areas completely fade away as soon as the piece is exposed to direct sunlight for a while. I haven't figured out how to stop that from happening.
You've probably already done it, but if you haven't, just use a spray bottle and mist the leather with the rubbing alcohol. After a few seconds, use a cloth to buff it in.
It's one of those small disk-shaped candles, often unscented and contained in their own little tin holders to keep their wax from spilling everywhere. They were originally used to in teapot warmers which, naturally, was made to warm teapots. They can also be used for mood lighting or to heat scented oils for aromatherapy.
This was really helpful and easy to watch. Thanks for not being irritating.
An excellent demonstration of the various techniques. Thanks.

Hey there, how can you make leather firmer with the rubbing alcohol without damaging the leather top grain?

Definitely need to speak louder or get a better microphone
Cut your volume up. I could hear him fine.
@@spjunkies "cut" your volume up??? You mean turn the volume up or increase the volume or even crank the volume up.
