Westley Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I use Renapur on all of my leather shooting stuff. Around £12 a tub but it lasts a very long time. I have a pigskin cartridge bag that is nearly 100 years old and it still does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a gift, but I believe it was direct from Croots. Edited December 20, 2019 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second that but must add Effax the German leather dressing which, like Renapur lasts for ages and gives superb protection and a lovely rich finish (two vintage leather cartridge bags and a leather slip - plus all the families leather shoes!)

JohnfromUK Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I'll own up to not having used it! Instructions here; https://www.renapur.com/how-to-use/ My bag is used for my clays kit, earplugs, glasses etc., so gets only light dry use and I have not had to treat it yet. I also have a Croots sleeve, but again, I usually use a 50 year old Brady rexine one that is a bit like 'Triggers broom' in that it has had new zip, handle, strap ...... but it fits my 28" shortish stock gun much better. I would think 'sponge any mud off, allow to air dry (NOT on a radiator), then treat as per instructions sparingly. Much of my older kit has been maintained in this way with various products over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
