Pecards in the UK

Post by Marv »

Just a quickie, does anybody know of any suppliers in the UK where I can get Pecards from.....from what I can see I have only seen for sale in the US.
Any help would be appreciated....

I got some from www.antiqueleatherdressing.co.uk. Not cheap, but closer than ordering form the US.

How does that compare with ordering direct?

thanks guys, had a quick look but was wondering......I have got a Raiders in Novapelle hide on the way from Wested and did request the dark brown backed hide be used but I thought I would get a tub of Pecards just in case I needed to darken the hide a touch.
Would the Pecards leather dressing on sale here be suitable for the Novapelle hide or not, it's just that I have read other threads mentioning that the Pecards leather cream may be better.

thanks

Well I for one have had no ill effects using Pecards standard dressing on my Novapelle, unless you count that it turned darker... almost black. Using the dressing on Novapelle also doesn't leave a tacky feeling on the hide either as opposed to other hides, especially since Novapelle seems to just absorb it all whether it needs it or not, without leaving much excess behind! (I pecarded mine probably three times in four months)

thanks Castor, I have gone and ordered some now so hopefully I won't need to use it on my Raiders novapelle but it's better to have than not I suppose. :)
