Beeswax, however, cannot penetrate the surface of leather. It only forms a barrier on top of the leather. This means that it can protect leather from dirt, water, or stains but it will not be able to condition the fibers of the leather. For leather to be conditioned, the conditioning substance should be able to penetrate deeply into the leather fiber. This helps to replenish the natural oils that have been lost over time.

It’s important to note that there are different types of leather finishes. The most common are aniline, semi-aniline, or pigmented. Ounce Wide Mouth Mason Jars:I like to use these larger wide mouth mason jars (rather than the taller skinny jam jars) as I found these are easier to dip a cloth or paper towel in to apply the wax. Regular mouth jam jars are too narrow for my hands, and these jars allow you to reach down to the bottom of the jar better to get that last drop of polish on. So all in all, I will always say waxes are good for leather if it’s applied the right way and for the right reasons. What Does Leather Wax Do? (Pros) Oiled pull-up leather is a process in which the leather is colored and then stretched to allow the hide to soak up the color evenly. The oil in the leather is what allows the leather to stretch and allows the color to sink into the pores and be evenly distributed.

Aniline simply refers to the dyes used in the finished product after the hide has been tanned. It is a unique treatment method used on fine Napa hides. This process distinguishes it from other types of leather. This form of leather has an intact surface that displays the natural colour and markings of the hide, also known as full-grain leather. Because aniline leather cannot be cheated, only the smoothest hides are used. Saddle Leather Darkening the leather may or may not be your intended result, but either way, you should always apply it in thin, light layers. Allow it to dry before applying another layer.

Yes, it comes from the same animal, and the process is nothing special – it’s simply the way the hide is tanned. But the leather that is produced by this process is like nothing you have ever seen before. Pictures are bare sanded to 120 grit (left somewhat rustic as I like the history to show) and then the colour after one coat to show the change. I was worried after sanding that the warmth was gone and the floors would look like the ashy grey polyeurethane finished or laminate floors - such a relief to see the colour come up again, while keeping the room much lighter than the old “antiquey style” varnish/stain that was on before. More coats doesn’t seem to impact the colour but the finish is far smoother and will obviously be more hardwearing

Leather waxes depending on the brand you get will come with rich oils like linseed oil and wax-like beeswax. An oily wax is applied to smoothed-out full grain leather to create this form of leather. This oil softens, supplifies, and protects the leather from moisture. It's perfect for creating an antique-looking patina that tells the tale of where the leather has traveled with you.
