Mink Oil

[punjab]

Whats the difference if any between Track of the Wolf mink oil patch lube and the paste stuff you buy to waterproof leather?

[Dogshirt]

None, as long as it is ONLY mink oil and has nothing else in it. No silicone or other additives.

Kiwi and most of the other leather-treating compounds do contain silicone. Some don't list the other ingredients so it's difficult to know. To be sure, use the TOTW stuff. It's not very expensive.

I finally got the TOTW mink oil and like it.  No, it's not expensive in the least.

For me in central Texas it gets too thin in hot weather.  I am just starting to try out Frontier's Patch Lube but looks promising at 100*.

I like bear tallow mixed with beeswax. No idea how it would work in hot weather though. I'm more concern with how it works in cold weather.

I use either neatsfoot (100% pure,) or olive oil and beeswax
