waterproofing leather boots
Dave West wrote ...
Want to really waterproof my new leather boots. I have heard that dubbin
will rot leather and can soften it too much, and even ordinary shoe polish
with its 'spirit' content will dry out leather and do it no favours.
I do have a tube of silicon grease would. Would that be a good idea or might
it also damage the leather? Grateful for suggestions.
This is what you want
