Having recently subscribed, I have been following the rebuilding 
questions with some interest. I would be interested to hear what various 
folks have used to seal pouch leather. Art Reblitz seems to be stuck on 
dilute rubber cement. Craig Brougher seconds, though recommending a 
different brand than Art. Craig also suggests a silicone grease & the 
Player Piano Co's catalog goes for mink oil.

What sort of experiential wisdom lurks out there in e-mail land? What 
really works? How does it age? Should one attempt to reseal old pouches?
Has the promise of "better living through chemistry" offered no 
improvement over rubber cement in the last 50 years?
