Hope This Isn't A Stupid Question..

I just got my two leather holsters in that I posted about the other day.. My question is, do you treat the leather with any type of treatment & if you do what do you use?

Well actually I am just kidding.[}:)] I don't usually treat brand new leather, but Pecards is the stuff you want.

Man, what a stupid question, I can't believe you did not research this before you ordered, this has got to be the stupidest question ever posted here. I just can't get over how stupid it is....

[:D]* a rope.. Thanks Bro..
FWIW I think Wallyworld even carries it.
Oh My Gawd; What kind of monster are you?
Have you never heard of ballistic nylon? Have you gone daft old chap? [:D][:D]
The wife uses Lexol too. good stuff.
Molding holsters takes a little guts but you get the hang of it after a while. Soak the holster in hot water for a half hour, then put the gun in the holster, after spraying gun with wd-40 or wrapping in thin plastic wrap. Let leather dry for a day or so. Remove gun and clean thoroughly making sure to scrub off any rust. Holster is now ready. Gun is now ruined..just kidding.. The holster makers use replica guns to mold their holsters.
OK, I'm not gonna ask what she uses it on..[:D][:D][;)]
I first found Pecards when I started Civil War reenacting back in '95. Shoes from that era were not made to be anything close to waterproof. Some were even made with little wooden pegs holding the soles onto the shoes!
I bought some Pecards and treated my Civil War shoes with it. At a reenactment in Franklin, TN, it was raining. NO, it was a FLOOD! I was walking in mud, and water puddles for most of a weekend. My shoes did not leak a drop!
Later, when I started riding motorcycles again, I continued to use Pecards products. You can't go wrong with Pecards.
