Is it possible to overapply Pecards? (esp. on Aldens)

Aldens Adventures

Hi everybody! I've been a lurker on this forum for a while, but I guess now's as good a time as any to tell you about the experiences I've had with my Alden 405s. During May of this year I decided to go ahead and plunk down the 250 to buy myself a pair (this was during pumpkin-orange leather era, be...
