Anything else I need from Pecard?

Post by Rosenet »

I'm about to place a Pecard order and I wanted to make sure I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm going to be treating:

two leather jackets
deerskin work gloves
WPG MkVII bag strap
JCrew Deckers
My cat

I'm planning to order:

Leather Jacket + Pecard Classic Leather Dressing 16oz
Alden Leather Boots + Pecard Weatherproof Dressing 4oz Brown

Am I missing anything? My Deckers are light brown. Will the Brown in the leatherproofing dye them? Will I prefer them dyed? Will my Cat survive the treatment process? <grin>

You may want to add the jell and a bottle of motorcycle leather lotion to your list. You'll find that the bees wax will make your gloves pretty 'tacky' if you use the standard dressing. The jell would be a better choice for the treatment of that particular gear.

No, the brown Pecards is a coloring agent, but not a dye. All it does is help blend in scratches and the like on leather, but is NOT in any way a substitute for a dye job.
