Neatsfoot Oil as Leather Sealant
By Grant Chapman, NY

[ Ref. 160614 MMDigest, Sealant for Leaking Pouches

For those who may not know, modern neatsfoot oil, as a commodity
product, is now made from lard, plus additives.

 [
 [ "Now {neatsfoot oil} is made from a variety of animal fats.  It is
 [ heavy oil that has a residue that can attract dust.  It does oxidize
 [ and can embrittle the leather. ... Some cheaper neatsfoot oil is made
 [ with added lard and still is called Pure Neatsfoot Oil. "

 [ "I use racing or motorcycle oil."
