I have so old brown polish here at the house, can this be used to darken aldens? Illinois

That 4 oz will last you a long time, depending on how often you plan on applying it to your boots. I usually keep the larger size on my shelf, as it doesn't go bad, and lasts forever.

Agreed. I like the 16 oz. tub, as there are SO many things you can use it on (boots, jacket, whip, belts, holster) that the 4 oz will disappear quickly if you use it much.

Go to the 'home' link at the top of the Indygear page Eric created, get to the Pecards main site, then scroll down the left menu of the main Pecards page where it says 'paste dressing'. You'll find all the tubs and products there.
