He's right, one of the few conditioners that works on leather jackets. Car interiors like he said. A paint brush works great. Awesome stuff that lasts!
I like using a small paint brush, 1" wide or less. This way there is no waste. Just put the brush in a plastic bag for future use. less wasted on your hands, and the brush makes it easier applying the honey into corners, seams, stitching, etc. This is the best stuff for leather imho. I bought the gallon size and somehow it tipped over onto a pile of clothing. It had a small crack in the lid and I lost 100% of most of the gallon that was left. Not a drop left. It had been in a closet for close to a year before I discovered it.
their website says it isn't sticky. this is a copy and paste from their website. I just ordered mine. Is Leather Honey Leather Conditioner sticky? What do I do if it leaves a residue? Leather Honey is not sticky, and if it leaves a residue after application, simply wipe it off with a lint-free cloth. Although Leather Honey is named “Honey” because of its color and “look,” it is not sticky like honey.
Not really sticky like melted candy or tree sap, so it won't pull the lint off your towels. It feels similar to dawn dish soap but thick like honey, hence the name. I use my hand to apply a light, even coat while massaging it gently into the leather. I let it sit for two hours in the garage during the summer (~90 degrees fahrenheit), which helps it absorb very quickly, then check for spots the leather had completely absorbed. I even the spots out by putting a bit into my palm, using my finger tips to rub the conditioner in. I buff it out with a microfiber cloth the following day and the leather feels soft and relaxed. There's not many videos of people actually applying or removing it, so I may make one of me doing my bike or leathers.
+fyrye I just got and used mine last week for the first time. I also used my hands to massage it into a couch , love seat and two recliners. It has more of a consistency of an oil . I let it sit for 8 hours and then wiped it off. It really is an excellent product though . My furniture looks great. Another thing to add is the recommended amount was 32 ounces for a full size couch but I used a lot of it and didn't use half my 32 ounce bottle on all of that furniture .
Thanks for the suggestion fyrye, it is a shame when it comes to these type of products there isn't a tutorial on application. I will use your advice and apply this Saturday. Thanks
In my experience "a couple of days" is complete over-kill. Whatever soaks in during the first 24 hours is sufficient to condition the leather you are treating. Leaving it longer will not ADD any more of the product to the fabric.
