I am going to use a deglazer after the saddle soap to prepare it for dyeing. Is this going to work for me or is there also a conditioner in the soap?

I have no clue. All I know that I had to throw out our leather chair (that we had almost 2 decades) after I cleaned it with the Leather Saddle soap. I could not get the awful smell (of this soap) out. And the formerly soft leather became discolored and lost it's softness. I will never ever use this product again.

Yes. But you can mix violet food coloring to your conditioner which is cheaper and will give you the same results. I mix this with my dye.

It may, but I would definitely start with Saddle Soap as a preliminary conditioner. Or take your bag to an old-fashioned shoemaker/repairer for advice.

I have used Ko Cao Line Leather Dressing for years. It's made for equestrian equipment. Or, if you can't find that, use Mink Oil or Lexol. To clean the leather use Saddle Soap. Basically, keep your leather oiled and soft, and treating it regularly will give you a long life for your leather things. Any leather product "gains character with age". Like blue jeans, they look better as they wear. Just keep it oiled and use saddle soap and apply one of the above conditioners liberally afterward. Remember, saddle soap cleans, it does not condition. On my boots I use Bear Grease. That stuff is serious. But for your backpack, mink oil will do just fine.

Yes, I use it with fabric softener balls all the time. It's fine! This is the best soap. I just wish I had known about it years ago!

To be honest I'm not sure. I have only used the masque as conditioner. I am very pleased with it. Check out your local Marshall's if you have one. I have found both there for a good price thanks to another reviewer.

It will come out spotty if you dilute it. I would suggest you using another dye. Good luck!!!!

No this is for melt and pour. It comes with a clear base soap, essential oil and coloring.You don't need the soap and the oils and dyes are inexpensive. You will also be using olive oil, and palm oil too. Bulk Apothecary has some good prices on their stuff.Good luck.

Add a thinner consistency conditioner and give it time to mix in with the thicker conditioner. It's amazing how well it will work then.

This product is meant to moisturize so I would use saddle soap or a liquid leather cleaner if the item is truly dirty. Personally, I use either Lexol leather cleaner or Carr Day and Martin leather conditioning soap. Just be careful that your stitching is dry before applying the Obenauf's or it may weaken.

I keep the soap nuts in until the whole cycle is finished. This is not a common soap - it's a natural "nut", so there is no lather. It works great and is really economical. I've been using them for a year now and I like the feel of the clothes when they are washed and dry. You don't need fabric softener. There is no film left on the clothes. Even flannel sheets are soft.

The cured silicone is an aquamarine color. It shouldn't bleed color into your soaps once it is cured. Thank you.

No. The manufacture recommends, Foaming Saddle Soap. 5 FL OZ. White Foam, No Yellow Residue, for grease stains or hard to remove stains. Even then, removing an oil stain will prove challenging.

I've used this product on light tan leather and black leather and loved the results both times. It should work well for green as well. The liquid cleaner is clear and the conditioner is a tan color but drys clear as well.

Don't worried. My soap was the same color. I have been using it for a while. It works so good

I dont know about using a deglazer but if you jacket is longer than waist length you should buy two bottles,

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.
