Medusa Care

[TheWannaBe]

So I did some looking but haven't found any postings on this yet... If there are please link them and I'll lock this thread.

The purpose of this thread is to have people that have/do own a medusa share what they do or have done to preserve the integrity of the piece.
Is there a shine that can be used? A leather oil or greese that works best? Waterproofing and fraying repair?

Anyway you get the point

Thanks!!

Here's what I use on mine. It helps keep the leather from drying out and doesn't leave an oily residue nor does it discolour the leather in any way. Same stuff I use on my couches.

SO, It's been years now. How is this working... still recommended? Any other recommendations to keeping your Medusa Tight, Fresh, and so Clean clean?

Anyone try,
-Lexol
-Saddle soap
-Other creams or oils?

This is one of the best leather rejuvenators on the market.

SO, I ordered this and Instead of "Leather food" I received Chelsea "Dubbin Leatherfood".... Any Idea if there is a difference? What the heck is "Dubbin"?

Found an article from Chelsea that said there was false hype about "dubbin" (which is a wax product) being bad for stitching, so they took the word off the product for a while. Its back on now, but still the same thing

Something to REALLY watch out for. The black dye can come off. If you rub that into the stitching, you'll wind up with black stitching.

Beware.

I ended up just using my finger and massaging the wax into the leather and being VERY VERY careful around the stitching
