Fuller's Earth Question:

Post by Captain D »

I have just ordered some "Light Brown" Fuller's Earth dust, and before it arrives, I just thought I would ask for certain if it is safe to use on my Wested Goatskin L.C. jacket along its seams? Are there any negative results whatsoever? Is it a permanent treatment or can it be removed later after I put it on my jacket? I have treated it w/ Standard Pecards already.

Thank you for your help and taking time out to help me!

Best Regards,

Fuller's has no adverse effect. It is a dust so it will wear off. It does settle into seams and lasts longer there. You can remove it all by washing it off or with Pecards.

Hello!

I ordered from:

Frends Beauty Supply
5270 Laurel Canyon Boulevard
North Hollywood, CA 91607

Phone # (818) 769-3834

I ordered the "light Brown" fuller's earth to put along my Last Crusade jacket seams for a good weathered and highlighted look (hopefully :wink:).

Later!

You can also get it at most Pet Shops. Chinchillas bathe in the stuff instead of water.
