I FINALLY got a U.K. connection to get this stuff pretty regularly!!
YAAAAAYYYYYY!!
This stuff really is awesome! It's foam like this

And then when you rub it on the leather, it simply DISAPPEARS! You don't even have to wipe your hands!

Right, Jerry, but weren't you using it in your hair???
That is a great find Texas. Oh, to be able to preserve leather without it taking the entire afternoon to do so!

No Hemingway, it was his shaving lather.
How much did it set you back with shipping, et al?

Hi,
That website posted on the bag doesn't seem to exist.
Can you confirm the address?

O.K. , a little clarification
I have a buddy that brings it to me. That place doesn't ship it to me. When I get a big enough stash, I'll let you know and I'll be selling
. Each can costs me $5.30, and I give him a little extra for the favor
Stay tuned-
have a nice day.

Gobler, old friend, in order to keep the repeat posts to a minimum, please do a search on 'Letap' in the gear section. I had no less than 12 hits when I did it, and the entire discription of the product is there.

Will do! I'll tell ya folks, I can't begin to tell you how much EASIER it is to condition a jacket with this stuff than Pecards! I love Pecards, but MAN this stuff is just apply-and-go! Pecards, you know, has to sit and soak in a while.
have a nice day.
