welshwarrior Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ok end of season clean up of gear today and I noticed my one gun slip of a pair (the one I use most) has faded a fair bit in normally ranurpur them but this need some colour put back in is there a saddle soap or similar that will add a bit more colour that will turn the mid brown back to dark brown?

Fatcatsplat Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Any idea why it's faded? Sunlight, chemicals or just bad luck? You can get recolouring balm or maybe try a little neatsfoot oil to darken it up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 A bit of everything 20 years of use I double gun 5-8 times a year so the other slip rarely comes out it's just I did them both together and sort went oh. A recolouring balm sound about the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Don't use neatsfoot oil. You can buy leather stain online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thought of shoe polish but thought there may be something better that the leather guys use. Never had much luck with dye being even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Have a look online Daf there are a few products for recolouring faded and scuffed leather. Some of the products work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yep there's loads out there but what works best if we listen to the advertising experts we all use truoil or tung oil on our stock not decent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
