Glovolium

[Jacques]

I have Glovolium by Rawlings which I use to break in baseball gloves. It contains lanolin, and the bottle states it says "...to help break-in, preserve, soften and protect your glove." It does well in softening a baseball glove, but would this help soften say, boots, or a whip? Or, just stick with what works (ie: Pecard)?

Anything containing animal byproducts isn't usually recommended for our gear. Lanolin is an animal byproduct.

Your call, though.

Regard! Michaelson

Good to know...thanks, Michaelson!

[Michaelson]

Not that it isn't necessarily a GOOD thing....it's just that it attracts all sorts of vermin and the link when placed in storage, and sometimes can actually allow leather fibers to break down. Just an FYI.

^^^Yeah, I don't think I like any of that.

[Michaelson]

Me neither.

Used to use that stuff on my baseball glove when I was a kid. Probably best reserved for the gloves.
